| <p> |
| GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data |
| types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a main |
| loop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms, Windows, |
| OS/2 and BeOS. GLib is released under the GNU Library General Public License |
| (GNU LGPL). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The general policy of GLib is that all functions are invisibly threadsafe with the |
| exception of data structure manipulation functions, where, if you have two threads |
| manipulating the <span class="emphasis"><em>same</em></span> data structure, they must use a lock to |
| synchronize their operation. |
