Is there any widely known general purpose library for standard C. I'm thinking of something like what Boost is for C++.

I found the C POSIX library... any other?

+7  A: 

GLib, GObject, and GTK+ (links to Wikipedia) are good places to start. (GLib, GObject, and GTK are part of the GTK+ Project).

For numerical functions and algebra, there are the GNU Scientific Library, and implementations of CLAPACK and CBLAS (GSL includes CBLAS).

Please see also Wikipedia's list of numerical libraries. If you find more, consider contributing to the Wiki.

I have used GLib which provides almost every functionality of standard c libs.

As the previous answers suggest your best bet is GLib (Wikipedia page on GLib).

If the previous answers already suggest it, why post this again?
