History
glibc was initially written mostly by Roland McGrath, working for the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in the 1980s.
In February 1988, FSF described glibc as having nearly completed the functionality required by ANSI C. By 1992, it had the ANSI C-1989 and POSIX.1-1990 functions implemented and work was under way on POSIX.2.
