The GNU C Library (glibc) and libbionic act as a wrapper around the Linux system calls. Libhybris replaces Libbionic and works on top of the glibc, i.e. it hooks into glibc instead of into the Linux kernel system calls, thereby acting as a compatibility layer.The Android operating system replaces the GNU C Library with libbionic. Both libraries are wrappers around the system calls of the Linux kernel, but while the GNU C Library has aimed to become and stay POSIX-compliant, libbionic does not. Programs written for libbionic can only run on GNU C Library with the help of another wrapper called libhybris.While a programmer targets and uses an API, a compiled program can only use the resulting ABI. . After compilation, the binaries offer an ABI.
libhybris is a compatibility layer for computers running Linux distributions based on the GNU C library or Musl,[3] intended for using software written for Bionic-based Linux systems, which mainly includes Android libraries and device drivers.[4]
