Name        : glibc
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 2.18
Release     : 12.fc20
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/
Summary     : The GNU libc libraries
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

Update Information:

- Set the canonical name in a getaddrinfo request correctly when the request type is AF_INET and the results are looked up from /etc/hosts.

- Fix scanning of numbers in scientific notation, e.g. 0e+0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
