libc is the generic name for an implementation of the library of functions required by various standards, including ISO/ANSI C, POSIX, and so on. It's usually named libc* and located in /lib, and it's linked by default when invoking a C compiler in link mode. The exact details are vendor- specific. glibc, or GNU libc, is the implementation that most Linux systems use.
