Core Library Support
Lightweight Hookable Events -- a blockable, optionally shutdown-able, trap-able structure inside a GObject.
Library Initialization -- Perform general initialization with limited argument parsing.
Helpful Macros -- Various macros to eliminate tedious typing, beyond those provided by glib.
Base Input/Output Object -- A base class with input and output triggers, but no actual read or write methods. Those are left for derived classes to support.
Binary Input/Output Stream Base -- A byte stream. This has methods to read and write data, and it inherits read/write notification from GskStream.
gskstreamconnection -- Connection between the input of one stream and the output of another.
Main Loop (Generic Event Management) -- Convenient way to be notified when certain types of event occur.
Socket Address Lookup by Name -- A way to lookup addresses from names. (Like a generic DNS.)
Useful GTypes -- some types useful to servers
GskBuffer -- a fast, flexible in-memory data buffer
Old-Fashioned errno Handling -- A few tricks which operate on the same type as errno, an int.
Error Codes -- An exhaustive composite list of error codes.
Trivial Main Functions. -- These are trivial interfaces to the main-loop.
Glib Helper Routines -- Miscellaneous helper routines that could conceivably be moved to glib someday.
Datagram I/O -- base class for datagram I/O classes
Binary Packet -- A binary data packet.
Listening for Connections -- Base class for server-type objects.
Client Stream -- Create a GskStream which is connecting to a remote address.
Socket Addresses. -- The location of a socket endpoint, in some domain.
Debugging Hints -- How to debug your program
Runtime Toggled Debug Logging -- methods to quickly turn logging on and off for portions of GSK.
