To check the libc version in Termux, you can use one of the following methods:
libc command (if available)Run this command in Termux:
bashlibc --version
If this command is not available, try the next method.
getconf commandRun:
bashgetconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION
This will display the version of the GNU C Library (glibc) if it is installed.
Run:
bashls -l /system/lib/libc.so
or
bashls -l /system/lib64/libc.so
This will show the libc file details, but it may not directly show the version.
ldd commandRun:
bashldd --version
This will show the version of the dynamic linker/loader, which is part of libc.
Since Termux uses its own environment, you can also check the version of the libc package installed:
bashapt show libc
or
bashdpkg -l | grep libc
Note: Termux on Android typically uses Bionic libc (not glibc), so the output may differ from traditional Linux systems. If you need the exact version, the apt show libc or dpkg -l | grep libc commands are the most reliable.
