In general the GNU C library supports the ISO C and POSIX standards. We also try to support the features of popular Unix variants (including BSD and System V) when those do not conflict with the standards.

Different compatibility modes (selectable when you compile an application) allow the peaceful coexistence of compatibility support for different varieties of Unix.

The GNU libc is designed to be conformant with almost all existing standards as far as possible.

The GNU C library is primarily designed to be a portable and high performance C library.

It follows all relevant standards (ISO C 99, POSIX.1c, POSIX.1j, POSIX.1d, Unix98, Single Unix Specification).

It is also internationalized and has one of the most complete internationalization interfaces known.
