  80 GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data
  81 types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a main
  82 loop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms, Windows,
  83 OS/2 and BeOS. GLib is released under the GNU Library General Public License
  84 (GNU LGPL).
  85     </para>
  86     <para>
  87 The general policy of GLib is that all functions are invisibly threadsafe with the
  88 exception of data structure manipulation functions, where, if you have two threads
  89 manipulating the <emphasis>same</emphasis> data structure, they must use a lock to
  90 synchronize their operation.
