GLib v APR pros and cons of each
I have a couple of hobby C programming projects that I would like to start. I am looking for an open source library that has a liberal license (I want credit, but pretty much anybody can use).

If I have two instances of Glib::IOChannel, they block until both written. What is the correct way to do this?
I have modified the example found here to use two io channels. None of the callbacks seem to be called before I have written to both channels. After that they are called individually when writing to the fifos. Am I forgetting something? Start the test program in one shell window. Write echo "abc" > testfifo1 in second shell window. -> ...
Absolute path of executable start directory
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to grab the start directory for my program. I am using C and have access to GLib.
