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