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