# glibc
|
|
|
|
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system.
|
|
In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs.
|
|
This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function.
|
|
The glibc package also contains national language (locale) support.
