lovelldetect-libc
Node.js module to detect details of the C standard library (libc) implementation provided by a given Linux system.
Currently supports detection of GNU glibc and MUSL libc.
Provides asychronous and synchronous functions for the
family (e.g. glibc, musl) and version (e.g. 1.23, 1.2.3).
The version numbers of libc implementations are not guaranteed to be semver-compliant.
For previous v1.x releases, please see the v1 branch.
Install
npm install detect-libcAPI
GLIBC
const GLIBC: string = 'glibc';A String constant containing the value glibc.
MUSL
const MUSL: string = 'musl';A String constant containing the value musl.
family
function family(): Promise<string | null>;Resolves asychronously with:
glibcormuslwhen the libc family can be determinednullwhen the libc family cannot be determinednullwhen run on a non-Linux platform
const { family, GLIBC, MUSL } = require('detect-libc');
switch (await family()) {
case GLIBC: ...

}familySync
function familySync(): string | null;Synchronous version of family().
const { familySync, GLIBC, MUSL } = require('detect-libc');

}version
function version(): Promise<string | null>;Resolves asychronously with:
- The version when it can be determined
