Highly recommend reading the Musl source code if you want to find out how things work. Don't bother trying to look at Glibc.

- shakna 10y agoCannot agree more. glibc's source feels like archeology: there's so much history and remnants of bygone eras. musl feels like a structured, well-engineered and specified piece of architecture. This isn't a knocj against glibc. But it was grown, not built. musl and the team's great documentation have been incredibly handy when I've been building tightly constrained applications.
