/**

* @title: gnetworking.h
* @short_description: System networking includes
* @include: gio/gnetworking.h
*
* The <literal>gnetworking.h</literal> header can be included to get
* various low-level networking-related system headers, automatically
* taking care of certain portability issues for you.
*
* This can be used, for example, if you want to call setsockopt()
* on a #GSocket.
*
* Note that while WinSock has many of the same APIs as the
* traditional UNIX socket API, most of them behave at least slightly
* differently (particularly with respect to error handling). If you
* want your code to work under both UNIX and Windows, you will need
* to take these differences into account.
*
* Also, under glibc, certain non-portable functions are only visible
* in the headers if you define <literal>_GNU_SOURCE</literal> before
* including them. Note that this symbol must be defined before
* including <emphasis>any</emphasis> headers, or it may not take
* effect.
