19     <para>
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 
24 (GNU LGPL). 
25     </para>
26     <para>
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.
