The pathname argument should be in the GLib file name encoding. On POSIX this is the actual on-disk encoding which might correspond to the locale settings of the process (or the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable), or not. On Windows the GLib file name encoding is UTF-8.

GLib is a general-purpose, portable utility library, which provides many useful data types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a mainloop abstraction, and so on.

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

To build GLib without extended attribute support, use the -Dxattr=false option. The optional SELinux support in GIO requires libselinux. To build GLib without SELinux support, use the -Dselinux=disabled option.

Basic Types - standard GLib types, defined for ease-of-use and portability. Limits of Basic Types - portable method of determining the limits of the standard types. Standard Macros - commonly-used macros. Type Conversion Macros - portably storing integers in pointer variables.

May 30, 2021 · For GSoC 2021, I will be working on xrdesktop, which is written with the GLib library. Since learning by explaining is even better than learning by doing, I’ll show the basics of using GLib in this blog post. We’ll start with a plain C program and gradually replace parts of it with GLib functiona...

GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a mainloop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms, as well as Windows and OS X. GLib is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL).
