the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to determine buffering mode, are also fixed. on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the fd refers to a tty. TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any tty device. this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and misleading.
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:
