glibc, glib and gnulib

what are differences in the strength and features in gnulib glib and glibc Thanks!

Solution

  • glibc is a core C runtime library. It provides things like printf(3) and fopen(3).

    glib is an object-based event loop and utility library written in C.

    gnulib is a library that provides an adapter from the POSIX API to the native API.

    All three are used for completely different tasks.
