libc

Libc, short for the C standard library, is a collection of predefined code routines that provide essential functions for programs written in the C language. It includes routines for tasks like input/output handling, string manipulation, memory management, and mathematical computations. By offering these common functions, libc allows developers to write more efficient and portable programs without having to create these fundamental operations from scratch. Essentially, libc acts as a shared toolkit that programs can rely on to perform basic tasks consistently across different systems and environments.
