'''dietlibc''' is a [[C standard library]] subset released under the [[GNU General Public License]] Version 2, and proprietary licenses are also available. It was developed with the help of about 100 volunteers by [[Felix von Leitner]] with the goal to compile and link programs to the smallest possible size.<ref>[https://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/credits.html diet libc - credits]</ref> dietlibc was developed from scratch and thus only implements the most important and commonly used [[function (programming)|functions]]. It is mainly used in [[embedded devices]].{{which|date=May 2020}}
