musl is a C standard library intended for operating systems based on the Linux kernel, released under the MIT License.[3] It was developed by Rich Felker to write a clean, efficient, and standards-conformant libc implementation.[4]

Overview

musl was designed from scratch to allow efficient static linking and to have realtime-quality robustness by avoiding race conditions, internal failures on resource exhaustion, and various other bad worst-case behaviors present in existing implementations.[4] The dynamic runtime is a single file with stable ABI allowing race-free updates and the static linking support allows an application to be deployed as a single portable binary without significant size overhead.

It claims compatibility with the POSIX 2008 specification and the C11 standard. It also implements most of the widely used non-standard Linux, BSD, and glibc functions.[5] There is partial ABI compatibility with the part of glibc required by Linux Standard Base.[6]

Version 1.2.0 has support for (no longer current) Unicode 12.1.0 (while still having full UTF-8 support,[7] more conformant/strict than glibc), and version 1.2.1 "features the new 'mallocng' malloc implementation, replacing musl's original dlmalloc-like allocator that suffered from fundamental design problems."[2]

Use

Linux distributions which use musl as their standard C library (some use only musl) include but are not limited to:

A modified version of musl is available for userspace code written for the seL4 microkernel[16], requiring users to implement the parts of the Linux system call interface that the subset of musl they wish to use depends on.

A modified musl wrapper is also utilized written for OpenHarmony distributed operating systems within its userspace for its standard system devices; while it primarily targets a Linux kernel, it employs a Kernel Abstraction Layer (KAL) to map extended POSIX system calls when running on non-Linux kernels of kernel agnostic core system, such as microkernel-based HarmonyOS's HongMeng Kernel Linux ABI compliant shim for POSIX-like functionalities.[17]

For binaries that have been linked against glibc, gcompat and[18] glibmus-hq[19] can be used to execute them on musl-based distros.
