glibc 2.33

The GNU C Library

The GNU C library is used as the C library in the GNU system and most systems with the Linux kernel.

The glibc package provides more outputs besides the default (out). You can install them by appending :output-name to the package specification. For example:

guix install glibc:static

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
