Hi there,
I'm sorry in advance if my question seems stupid, but I can't figure out myself.
I was wondering. Is it possible to install a Solaris program on an Open Solaris or Open Indiana operating system?
After searching the web for a long time, it seems that Open Solaris was released by... (7 Replies)
Hi guys,
I seek a solution for this action for Sun solaris.

Hello All,
there is some strange behaviour of VI editor while i am working in SunSolaris.
I am trying to open a small file using vi abc.txt and it take around 5 mins for that file to open.. While i loggin to LINUX box which same profile and environment settings and opening the same file with vi... (3 Replies)
Migrating from sendmail on SUN Solaris to POSTFIX on Linux.
I have been asked to migrate our sendmail to postfix on Linux and would appreciate and information. Hints and tips on the process involved.

libc - overview of standard C libraries on Linux
DESCRIPTION
The term "libc" is commonly used as a shorthand for the "standard C library", a library of standard functions that can be used by all C
programs (and sometimes by programs in other languages). Because of some history (see below), use of the term "libc" to refer to the stan-
dard C library is somewhat ambiguous on Linux.
glibc
By far the most widely used C library on Linux is the GNU C Library <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/>, often referred to as glibc. This
is the C library that is nowadays used in all major Linux distributions. It is also the C library whose details are documented in the rel-
evant pages of the man-pages project (primarily in Section 3 of the manual). Documentation of glibc is also available in the glibc manual,
available via the command info libc. Release 1.0 of glibc was made in September 1992. (There were earlier 0.x releases.) The next major
release of glibc was 2.0, at the beginning of 1997.
The pathname /lib/libc.so.6 (or something similar) is normally a symbolic link that points to the location of the glibc library, and exe-
cuting this pathname will cause glibc to display various information about the version installed on your system.
Linux libc
In the early to mid 1990s, there was for a while Linux libc, a fork of glibc 1.x created by Linux developers who felt that glibc develop-
ment at the time was not sufficing for the needs of Linux. Often, this library was referred to (ambiguously) as just "libc". Linux libc
released major versions 2, 3, 4, and 5 (as well as many minor versions of those releases). For a while, Linux libc was the standard C
library in many Linux distributions. However, notwithstanding the original motivations of the Linux libc effort, by the time glibc 2.0 was
released, it was clearly superior to Linux libc, and all major Linux distributions that had been using Linux libc soon switched back to
glibc. (Since this switch occurred over a decade ago, man-pages no longer takes care to document Linux libc details. Nevertheless, the
history is visible in vestiges of information about Linux libc that remain in some manual pages, in particular, references to libc4 and
libc5.)
Other C libraries
There are various other less widely used C libraries for Linux. These libraries are generally smaller than glibc, both in terms of fea-
tures and memory footprint, and often intended for building small binaries, perhaps targeted at development for embedded Linux systems.
Among such libraries are uClibc (http://www.uclibc.org/) and dietlibc (http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/). Details of these libraries are gen-
erally not covered by the man-pages project.
