build_filenamev	Behaves exactly like `g_build_filename()`, but takes the path elements as a string array, instead of varargs. This function is mainly meant for language bindings.
build_pathv	Behaves exactly like `g_build_path()`, but takes the path elements as a string array, instead of varargs. This function is mainly meant for language bindings.
canonicalize_filename	`v2_58` Gets the canonical file name from `filename`. All triple slashes are turned into single slashes, and all `..` and `.`s resolved against `relative_to`.
chdir	A wrapper for the POSIX `chdir()` function. The function changes the current directory of the process to `path`.
check_version	Checks that the GLib library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants `GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION`, `GLIB_MINOR_VERSION`, `GLIB_MICRO_VERSION` as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of GLib the application or module was compiled against.
clear_error	If `err` or `err` is `None`, does nothing. Otherwise, calls `g_error_free()` on `err` and sets *`err` to `None`.
codeset
compute_checksum_for_bytes	Computes the checksum for a binary `data`. This is a convenience wrapper for `Checksum::new()`, `Checksum::string()` and `g_checksum_free()`.
compute_checksum_for_data	Computes the checksum for a binary `data` of `length`. This is a convenience wrapper for `Checksum::new()`, `Checksum::string()` and `g_checksum_free()`.
compute_checksum_for_string	Computes the checksum of a string.
compute_hmac_for_bytes	`v2_50` Computes the HMAC for a binary `data`. This is a convenience wrapper for `g_hmac_new()`, `g_hmac_get_string()` and `g_hmac_unref()`.
compute_hmac_for_data	Computes the HMAC for a binary `data` of `length`. This is a convenience wrapper for `g_hmac_new()`, `g_hmac_get_string()` and `g_hmac_unref()`.
compute_hmac_for_string	Computes the HMAC for a string.

shell_parse_argv	Parses a command line into an argument vector, in much the same way the shell would, but without many of the expansions the shell would perform (variable expansion, globs, operators, filename expansion, etc. are not supported). The results are defined to be the same as those you would get from a UNIX98 /bin/sh, as long as the input contains none of the unsupported shell expansions. If the input does contain such expansions, they are passed through literally. Possible errors are those from the `G_SHELL_ERROR` domain. Free the returned vector with `g_strfreev()`.
shell_quote	Quotes a string so that the shell (/bin/sh) will interpret the quoted string to mean `unquoted_string`. If you pass a filename to the shell, for example, you should first quote it with this function. The return value must be freed with `g_free()`. The quoting style used is undefined (single or double quotes may be used).
shell_unquote	Unquotes a string as the shell (/bin/sh) would. Only handles quotes; if a string contains file globs, arithmetic operators, variables, backticks, redirections, or other special-to-the-shell features, the result will be different from the result a real shell would produce (the variables, backticks, etc. will be passed through literally instead of being expanded). This function is guaranteed to succeed if applied to the result of `shell_quote()`. If it fails, it returns `None` and sets the error. The `quoted_string` need not actually contain quoted or escaped text; `shell_unquote()` simply goes through the string and unquotes/unescapes anything that the shell would. Both single and double quotes are handled, as are escapes including escaped newlines. The return value must be freed with `g_free()`. Possible errors are in the `G_SHELL_ERROR` domain.
spaced_primes_closest	Gets the smallest prime number from a built-in array of primes which is larger than `num`. This is used within GLib to calculate the optimum size of a `GHashTable`.
spawn_async	See `g_spawn_async_with_pipes()` for a full description; this function simply calls the `g_spawn_async_with_pipes()` without any pipes.
spawn_check_exit_status	Set `error` if `exit_status` indicates the child exited abnormally (e.g. with a nonzero exit code, or via a fatal signal).
spawn_command_line_async	Unix A simple version of `spawn_async()` that parses a command line with `shell_parse_argv()` and passes it to `spawn_async()`. Runs a command line in the background. Unlike `spawn_async()`, the `SpawnFlags::SEARCH_PATH` flag is enabled, other flags are not. Note that `SpawnFlags::SEARCH_PATH` can have security implications, so consider using `spawn_async()` directly if appropriate. Possible errors are those from `shell_parse_argv()` and `spawn_async()`.
stpcpy	Copies a nul-terminated string into the dest buffer, include the trailing nul, and return a pointer to the trailing nul byte. This is useful for concatenating multiple strings together without having to repeatedly scan for the end.
system_config_dirs
system_data_dirs
unlink	A wrapper for the POSIX `unlink()` function. The `unlink()` function deletes a name from the filesystem. If this was the last link to the file and no processes have it opened, the diskspace occupied by the file is freed.
user_cache_dir
user_config_dir
user_data_dir
user_runtime_dir
user_special_dir
usleep	Pauses the current thread for the given number of microseconds.
uuid_string_is_valid	`v2_52` Parses the string `str` and verify if it is a UUID.
uuid_string_random	`v2_52` Generates a random UUID (RFC 4122 version 4) as a string. It has the same randomness guarantees as `GRand`, so must not be used for cryptographic purposes such as key generation, nonces, salts or one-time pads.
warn_message	Internal function used to print messages from the public `g_warn_if_reached()` and `g_warn_if_fail()` macros.
