This is the abbreviation for the software known as the GNU C Compiler. Its function is to transform a program's source code written in the C programming language into a binary file which can be executed by a computer. The Gnu C compiler is included in most GNU/Linux distributions as the default compiler. It is licensed as free software. It uses the GNU GPL license.
