GIO has I/O streams, though I can't imagine that being what you actually want. cout, if I remember my C++ correctly, is often used as a shorthand for printf() and the likes that are intrinsic to C/C++. If you're just wanting to write messages to the terminal temporally during development, that's probably the easiest way to go. GLib also has some "message logging" functions that'll write messages to the terminal, can be told to be considered an error, and other "log message" type support. If you're wanting to "log" messages, as in to a rotated log file, I believe there's libraries and/or glib functionality for that, some of which may include syslog support in Unix's. Then there's also GTKmm if you're working in C++, instead of trying to bang around in GTK directly. Or if you're trying to move to straight C without the ++, there's also Vala which is rather nice. > I also believe I have read all the relevant documentation (including > having to use the g_free() function. Again, GTKmm or Vala will make that mostly unnecessary. Fredderic ------------------------------------------------------------ Criminal Lawyers - Click here.
