How to get Termux libc version?
Mar 2, 5:54pm

To check the libc version in Termux, you can use one of the following methods:

1. Using the libc command (if available)

Run this command in Termux:

bash
libc --version

If this command is not available, try the next method.


2. Using the getconf command

Run:

bash
getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION

This will display the version of the GNU C Library (glibc) if it is installed.


3. Checking the libc.so file

Run:

bash
ls -l /system/lib/libc.so

or

bash
ls -l /system/lib64/libc.so

This will show the libc file details, but it may not directly show the version.


4. Using the ldd command

Run:

bash
ldd --version

This will show the version of the dynamic linker/loader, which is part of libc.


5. Checking Termux package info

Since Termux uses its own environment, you can also check the version of the libc package installed:

bash
apt show libc

or

bash
dpkg -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.
