LSB, English least significant bit, Chinese translation least significant bit. For a given data string (integer), such as binary 100 1 or decimal 35 1, its least significant bit is the smallest bit.

LSB is a set of core standards, which ensures a good combination between LINUX distribution and LINUX applications.

LSB (full name: Linux standard library).

LSB is the de facto standard in the field of Linux standardization, which sets the binary interface between the application and the running environment.

Specifically, it is a binary interface specification, which means that applications do not need to be recompiled when migrating between systems, thus ensuring that applications are compatible with all certified LINUX distributions.

Test whether the LINUX distribution and LINUX application meet the test specification of LSB standard.

Build an application development environment that conforms to LSB specification.

An example of the running environment provided for running and testing applications in a pure LSB environment. LSB consists of two core parts, which are general specification and special processor specification.

LSB project was originally initiated in1May, 998, and its launch statement was signed by Linus Torvalds, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, etc. The goal at that time was to establish a series of standards that should be followed when building the source code of Linux distribution, and to provide a reference platform.

In May 2000, LSB became a working group of Free Standards Group (FSG).

After the first official version of the specification was released in June 20001year, LSB specification was updated almost every six months. Until the release of version 3.0 in July 2005, LSB focused on the use of servers, which is consistent with the widespread application of Linux on servers. This specification has been adopted by ISO as the international standard 23360.

At present, the latest version specification is LSB 3. 1 released in June 2005, which can support seven architectures.
