Ryan Lortie cbf68cb22d gsource: Add support for file descriptors on UNIX
Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.

First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field.  This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.

Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare.  This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.

This package contains the reference documentation
for GLib. For more information about Glib,
see:

 http://www.gtk.org

For information about contributing to the
GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see:

 http://www.gtk.org/rdp/

The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable,
see the file COPYING for details.


REQUIREMENTS
============

To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc
package installed. To rebuild the template files,
you must have the current version of the GLib
header files installed.


BUILD
=====

First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this
module. There is one option specific to this package

  --with-html-dir=DIR   top of installed HTML documentation tree


The Makefiles for this module define three targets:

 templates:
  
  Scan the headers and merge the results with the current 
  template files

 sgml:

  Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from
  the template files

 html:

  Generate HTML from the SGML files.

To build the documentation, do:

 make sgml
 make html

You should only run the 'make templates' step if you
need to regenerate the templates for a more recent
version of the GLib sources.


INSTALLATION
============

 make install
