| == Example == A hello world program will look like: {{{ #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; } }}} To compile and run, try: {{{ gcc -o hello hello.c ./hello }}} ---- == Installation == A C compiler must be installed. Many [[Linux]] and [[BSD]] distributions will have one installed: either `gcc(1)` or `clang(1)`. All distributions will have packages for both available as well. A C library (`libc(7)`) must also be installed. All distributions will have one installed. BSD distributions develop their own libraries, while most Linux distributions use `glibc`. Minimal Linux distributions such as [[Linux/Alpine|Alpine]] use `musl libc`. ---- == Language == |
