GNU C Library

The GNU C Library (glibc) is a collection of pre-written code that provides essential tools and functions for programs running on Linux systems. It helps software perform common tasks like managing files, handling memory, and communicating over networks efficiently. Glibc acts as an intermediary between your applications and the underlying hardware, ensuring programs can run smoothly regardless of the specific hardware or system details. Essentially, it provides the fundamental building blocks that allow software to function reliably and consistently on Linux platforms.
