The GNU C Library is used as the C library in the GNU systems and most systems with the Linux kernel. The GNU C Library is primarily designed to be a portable and high performance C library. It follows all relevant standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008.

The history of Unix and various standards determine much of the interface of the C library. Many others have contributed in large amounts as documented in the glibc Contributors. Bjarne Stroustrup's Homepage. Boost C++ Libraries.
