some applications use getservbyport to find port numbers that are not assigned to a service; if getservbyport always succeeds with a numeric string as the result, they fail to find any available ports. POSIX doesn't seem to mandate the behavior one way or another. it specifies an abstract service database, which an implementation could define to include numeric port strings, but it makes more sense to align behavior with traditional implementations. based on patch by A. Wilcox. the original patch only changed getservbyport[_r]. to maintain a consistent view of the "service database", I have also modified getservbyname[_r] to exclude numeric port strings.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
