* SECTION:iochannels
* @title: IO Channels
* @short_description: portable support for using files, pipes and sockets
* @see_also: g_io_add_watch(), g_io_add_watch_full(), g_source_remove(),
* #GMainLoop
*
* The #GIOChannel data type aims to provide a portable method for
* using file descriptors, pipes, and sockets, and integrating them
* into the [main event loop][glib-The-Main-Event-Loop]. 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 [main event loop][glib-The-Main-Event-Loop],
* 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.
* The `GIOChannel` data type aims to provide a portable method for
* using file descriptors, pipes, and sockets, and integrating them
* into the main event loop (see [struct@GLib.MainContext]). Currently,
* full support is available on UNIX platforms; support for Windows
* is only partially complete.
*
* To create a new `GIOChannel` on UNIX systems use
* [ctor@GLib.IOChannel.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 [ctor@GLib.IOChannel.new_file].
*
* Once a `GIOChannel` has been created, it can be used in a generic
* manner with the functions [method@GLib.IOChannel.read_chars],
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.write_chars], [method@GLib.IOChannel.seek_position],
* and [method@GLib.IOChannel.shutdown].
*
* To add a `GIOChannel` to the main event loop, use [func@GLib.io_add_watch] or
* [func@GLib.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.
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.ref] and [method@GLib.IOChannel.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
* [ctor@GLib.IOChannel.new_file].) Using [func@GLib.io_add_watch] or
* [func@GLib.io_add_watch_full] increments a channel’s reference count.
*
* The new functions [method@GLib.IOChannel.read_chars],
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.read_line], [method@GLib.IOChannel.read_line_string],
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.read_to_end], [method@GLib.IOChannel.write_chars],
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.seek_position], and [method@GLib.IOChannel.flush]
* should not be mixed with the deprecated functions
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.read], [method@GLib.IOChannel.write], and
* [method@GLib.IOChannel.seek] on the same channel.
