Gary S. Brown

Gary S. Brown was a software engineer known for creating the widely-used Linux C Library (glibc) implementation of the POSIX standard. His work helped ensure that Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, could handle date and time functions accurately and consistently across different platforms. Brown's contributions were foundational in making Unix systems more reliable and portable, particularly through his detailed implementation of functions like `localtime()` and `strftime()`. His expertise and efforts significantly improved the way computers manage and interpret date and time data, benefiting both developers and users of modern operating systems.
