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.
