  25 <p>
  26       GIO comes with a <code class="filename">gio-2.0.pc</code> file that you
  27       should use together with <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> to obtain
  28       the necessary information about header files and libraries. See
  29       the <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> man page or the GLib documentation
  30       for more information on how to use <code class="literal">pkg-config</code>
  31       to compile your application.
  32     </p>
  33 <p>
  34       If you are using GIO on UNIX-like systems, you may want to use
  35       UNIX-specific GIO interfaces such as <a class="link" href="GUnixInputStream.html" title="GUnixInputStream"><span class="type">GUnixInputStream</span></a>,
  36       <a class="link" href="GUnixOutputStream.html" title="GUnixOutputStream"><span class="type">GUnixOutputStream</span></a>, <span class="type">GUnixMount</span> or <a class="link" href="gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#GDesktopAppInfo"><span class="type">GDesktopAppInfo</span></a>.
  37       To do so, use the <code class="filename">gio-unix-2.0.pc</code> file
  38       instead of <code class="filename">gio-2.0.pc</code>
  39     </p>
  40 <p>
  41       Since GIO is based on GObject, you need to call <a href="./../gobject/gobject/gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-init"><code class="function">g_type_init()</code></a>
  42       before you can use any GIO functions. If your application uses
  43       GTK+, this is already taken care of by <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/devel/gtk/gtk3-General.html#gtk-init"><code class="function">gtk_init()</code></a>.
