minimal runtime, maximal control

minil is a minimal Linux user-space runtime written in assembly and freestanding C.

It provides:

• Custom _start
• Direct Linux syscalls
• Manual argc, argv, envp handling
• .init_array constructor support
• Freestanding C/C++ support
• Multi-architecture implementation

---

Supported Architectures

• x86_64
• i386
• AArch64
• RISC-V

---

Philosophy

no hidden runtime, no implicit initialization, no abstraction over syscalls.
