 *            functions for creating #GIOChannel instances and adding
 *            them to the <link linkend="glib-The-Main-Event-Loop">main

 *
 * The #GIOChannel data type aims to provide a portable method for
 * using file descriptors, pipes, and sockets, and integrating them
 * into the <link linkend="glib-The-Main-Event-Loop">main event
 * loop</link>. Currently full support is available on UNIX platforms,
 * support for Windows is only partially complete.
 *
 * To create a new #GIOChannel on UNIX systems use
 * g_io_channel_unix_new(). This works for plain file descriptors,
 * pipes and sockets. Alternatively, a channel can be created for a
 * file in a system independent manner using g_io_channel_new_file().
 *
 * Once a #GIOChannel has been created, it can be used in a generic
 * manner with the functions g_io_channel_read_chars(),
 * g_io_channel_write_chars(), g_io_channel_seek_position(), and
 * g_io_channel_shutdown().
 *
 * To add a #GIOChannel to the <link
 * linkend="glib-The-Main-Event-Loop">main event loop</link> use
 * g_io_add_watch() or g_io_add_watch_full(). Here you specify which
 * events you are interested in on the #GIOChannel, and provide a
 * function to be called whenever these events occur.
 *
 * #GIOChannel instances are created with an initial reference count of
 * 1. g_io_channel_ref() and g_io_channel_unref() can be used to
 * increment or decrement the reference count respectively. When the
 * reference count falls to 0, the #GIOChannel is freed. (Though it
 * isn't closed automatically, unless it was created using
 * g_io_channel_new_file().) Using g_io_add_watch() or
 * g_io_add_watch_full() increments a channel's reference count.
 *
 * The new functions g_io_channel_read_chars(),
 * g_io_channel_read_line(), g_io_channel_read_line_string(),
 * g_io_channel_read_to_end(), g_io_channel_write_chars(),
 * g_io_channel_seek_position(), and g_io_channel_flush() should not be
 * mixed with the deprecated functions g_io_channel_read(),
 * g_io_channel_write(), and g_io_channel_seek() on the same channel.

/**
 * GIOChannel:
 *
 * A data structure representing an IO Channel. The fields should be
 * considered private and should only be accessed with the following
 * functions.
 **/

/**
 * GIOFuncs:
 * @io_read: reads raw bytes from the channel.  This is called from
 *           various functions such as g_io_channel_read_chars() to
 *           read raw bytes from the channel.  Encoding and buffering
 *           issues are dealt with at a higher level.
 * @io_write: writes raw bytes to the channel.  This is called from
 *            various functions such as g_io_channel_write_chars() to
 *            write raw bytes to the channel.  Encoding and buffering
 *            issues are dealt with at a higher level.
 * @io_seek: &lpar;optional&rpar; seeks the channel.  This is called from
 *           g_io_channel_seek() on channels that support it.
 * @io_close: closes the channel.  This is called from
 *            g_io_channel_close() after flushing the buffers.
 * @io_create_watch: creates a watch on the channel.  This call
 *                   corresponds directly to g_io_create_watch().
 * @io_free: called from g_io_channel_unref() when the channel needs to
 *           be freed.  This function must free the memory associated
 *           with the channel, including freeing the #GIOChannel
 *           structure itself.  The channel buffers have been flushed
 *           and possibly @io_close has been called by the time this
 *           function is called.
 * @io_set_flags: sets the #GIOFlags on the channel.  This is called
 *                from g_io_channel_set_flags() with all flags except
 *                for %G_IO_FLAG_APPEND and %G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK masked
 *                out.
 * @io_get_flags: gets the #GIOFlags for the channel.  This function
 *                need only return the %G_IO_FLAG_APPEND and
 *                %G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK flags; g_io_channel_get_flags()
 *                automatically adds the others as appropriate.
 *

 * g_io_channel_set_encoding:
 * @channel: a #GIOChannel

 * Sets the encoding for the input/output of the channel. 
 * The internal encoding is always UTF-8. The default encoding

 *
 * The encoding %NULL is safe to use with binary data.
 *
 * The encoding can only be set if one of the following conditions

 *    The channel was just created, and has not been written to or read 
 *    from yet.
 * </para></listitem>
 * <listitem><para>

 * </para></listitem>
 * <listitem><para>
 *    The channel is a file, and the file pointer was just
 *    repositioned by a call to g_io_channel_seek_position().
 *    (This flushes all the internal buffers.)
 * </para></listitem>
 * <listitem><para>
 *    The current encoding is %NULL or UTF-8.
 * </para></listitem>
 * <listitem><para>
 *    One of the (new API) read functions has just returned %G_IO_STATUS_EOF

 *    %G_IO_STATUS_ERROR. This may be useful in the case of 
 *    %G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE.
 *    Returning one of these statuses from g_io_channel_read_line(),
 *    g_io_channel_read_line_string(), or g_io_channel_read_to_end()
 *    does <emphasis>not</emphasis> guarantee that the encoding can

 * </para></listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 * Channels which do not meet one of the above conditions cannot call
 * g_io_channel_seek_position() with an offset of %G_SEEK_CUR, and, if 
 * they are "seekable", cannot call g_io_channel_write_chars() after 
 * calling one of the API "read" functions.
