detect-libc

Node.js module to detect the C standard library (libc) implementation family and version in use on a given Linux system.

Provides a value suitable for use with the LIBC option of prebuild, prebuild-ci and prebuild-install, therefore allowing build and provision of pre-compiled binaries for musl-based Linux e.g. Alpine as well as glibc-based.

Currently supports libc detection of glibc and musl.

Install

npm install detect-libc

Usage

API

const { GLIBC, MUSL, family, version, isNonGlibcLinux } = require('detect-libc');

• GLIBC is a String containing the value "glibc" for comparison with family.
• MUSL is a String containing the value "musl" for comparison with family.
• family is a String representing the system libc family.
• version is a String representing the system libc version number.
• isNonGlibcLinux is a Boolean representing whether the system is a non-glibc Linux, e.g. Alpine.

detect-libc command line tool

When run on a Linux system with a non-glibc libc, the child command will be run with the LIBC environment variable set to the relevant value.

On all other platforms will run the child command as-is.

The command line feature requires spawnSync provided by Node v0.12+.
