<title>GLib</title>

  <p>
    GLib is the most fundamental of all the GNOME libraries.  It provides
    simple data structures for C programs (linked lists, binary trees, hash
    tables) and various utilities such as string manipulation functions.
  </p>

  <p>
    If you are not writing C programs, you normally don't need to be concerned
    with GLib.  If you are, however, GLib will make your life as a C programmer
    much easier.
