Hi Xu,

thanks for your review and more search in man page than I did!

Yes. These are glibc specific and uclibc tries to be API compatible with glibc.

Correct, musl don't support it, neither binder.

Good catch! Agree. And it's also not supported on uclibc.

+1.
mallinfo2() was added few months ago to glibc by Martin Liska, released in 2.33.

Kind regards,
