these additions were made by scanning git log since the last major
update in commit 790580b2fc. in addition
to git-level commit authorship, "patch by" text in the commit message
was also scanned. this idiom was used in the past for patches that
underwent substantial edits when merging or where the author did not
provide a commit message. going forward, my intent is to use commit
authorship consistently for attribution.
as before my aim was adding everyone with either substantial code
contributions or a pattern of ongoing simple patch submission; any
omissions are unintentional.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
