No description is currently available. getent gets entries from an administrative database. glibcbug creates a bug report about glibc and and mails it to the bug email address. iconv performs character set conversion. iconvconfig creates fastloading iconv module configuration file. ldconfig configures the dynamic linker run time bindings. ldd prints the shared libraries required by each program or shared library specified on the command line. No description is currently available. No description is currently available. localedef compiles locale specifications. No description is currently available. nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common name service requests. No description is currently available. pcprofiledump dumps information generated by PC profiling. pt_chown sets the owner, group and access permission of the slave pseudo terminal corresponding to the master pseudo terminal passed on file descriptor `3'. This is the helper program for the `grantpt' function. It is not intended to be run directly from the command line. No description is currently available. No description is currently available. sln symbolically links dest to source. It is statically linked, needing no dynamic linking at all. Thus sln is useful to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries if the dynamic linking system for some reason is nonfunctional. sprof reads and displays shared object profiling data. tzselect asks the user for information about the current location and outputs the resulting time zone description to standard output. xtrace traces execution of program by printing the currently executed function. zdump is the time zone dumper. zic is the time zone compiler. ld.so, libBrokenLocale.[a,so], libBrokenLocale_p.a, libSegFault.so, libanl.[a,so], libanl_p.a, libbsd-compat.a, libc.[a,so], libc_nonshared.a, libc_p.a, libcrypt.[a,so], libcrypt_p.a, libdl.[a,so], libdl_p.a, libg.a, libieee.a, libm.[a,so], libm_p.a, libmcheck.a, libmemusage.so, libnsl.a, libnsl_p.a, libnss_compat.so, libnss_dns.so, libnss_files.so, libnss_hesiod.so, libnss_nis.so, libnss_nisplus.so, libpcprofile.so, libpthread.[a,so], libpthread_p.a, libresolv.[a,so], libresolv_p.a, librpcsvc.a, librpcsvc_p.a, librt.[a,so], librt_p.a, libthread_db.so, libutil.[a,so] and libutil_p.a ld.so is the helper program for shared library executables.

The C Library is a collection of commonly used functions in programs. This way a programmer doesn't need to create his own functions for every single task. The most common things like writing a string to the screen are already present and at the disposal of the programmer. The C library (actually almost every library) come in two flavors: dynamic ones and static ones. In short when a program uses a static C library, the code from the C library will be copied into the executable file. When a program uses a dynamic library, that executable will not contain the code from the C library, but instead a routine that loads the functions from the library at the time the program is run. This means a significant decrease in the file size of a program. The documentation that comes with the C Library describes this in more detail, as it is too complicated to explain here in one or two lines. libcrypt is the cryptography library.
