  26     <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gupnp.org" target="_top">GUPnP</a> is a library for
  27     implementing both <a class="ulink" href="http://www.upnp.org" target="_top">UPnP</a> clients and
  28     services in C, using <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gtk.org/" target="_top">GObject</a> and
  29     <a class="ulink" href="http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup" target="_top">LibSoup</a>.  It allows for
  30     fully asynchronous use without using threads and so cleanly integrates
  31     naturally into main-loop based applications, and supports all of the UPnP
  32     features.

  35     This documentation assumes some familiarity with the UPnP model and
  36     concepts.  If the reader doesn't have any prior understanding of UPnP, then
  37     we can recommend <a class="ulink" href="http://www.intel.com/intelpress/sum_upnp.htm" target="_top"><em class="citetitle">UPnP Design By
  38     Example</em></a> by Intel Press.  For a very basic overview of
  39     UPnP, see <a class="glossterm" href="glossary.html#device"><em class="glossterm">Device</em></a>, <a class="glossterm" href="glossary.html#service"><em class="glossterm">Service</em></a>, and <a class="glossterm" href="glossary.html#controlpoint"><em class="glossterm">Control Point</em></a> in the glossary.

  46     Guidelines</em> by <a class="ulink" href="" target="_top">Digital Living Network alliance</a>
  47     (to the extent that the guidelines are applicable to a UPnP protocol
  48     implementation).
