18 <title>GLib Overview</title>
20 GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful
21 data types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities,
22 a mainloop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms,
23 Windows, OS/2 and BeOS. GLib is released under the GNU Library General
24 Public License (GNU LGPL).
27 The general policy of GLib is that all functions are invisibly threadsafe
28 with the exception of data structure manipulation functions, where, if
29 you have two threads manipulating the <emphasis>same</emphasis> data
30 structure, they must use a lock to synchronize their operation.
