Just a note:

  • GIOChannel is a very old API that has some pitfalls
  • introspectability is somewhat dubious because of the age
  • some symbols appear depending on the platform that generated the introspection data
  • the API interfaces itself directly with low level data types (file descriptors of various nature) which may or may not be safe in Rust
  • use outside of Unix-like systems is still iffy

GIOChannel may still be good for small, throwaway code that only ever runs on Linux, and only need a simple main loop.

It is highly recommended newly written programs/modules use GIO and the input/output streams instead.

This is in GLib, not GIO. See https://github.com/gtk-rs/glib/issues/186
