D-Bus API | API to use D-Bus services as a client or to implement a D-Bus service. To write client code, see Gio::DBus::Proxy. To export objects on the bus for other clients, see Gio::DBus::own_name(), for instance |
File Utilities | Various file-related classes and functions |
Generic Values | Glib::Value<> is specialized for almost any type used within the glibmm and gtkmm libraries |

Glob-style Pattern Matching | Match strings against patterns containing '*' (wildcard) and '?' (joker) |
Miscellaneous Utility Functions | Miscellaneous Utility Functions – a selection of portable utility functions |
Platform-specific content typing | A content type is a platform specific string that defines the type of a file. On UNIX it is a mime type like "text/plain" or "image/png". On Win32 it is an extension string like ".doc", ".txt" or a perceived string like "audio". Such strings can be looked up in the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT |

Random Numbers | Pseudo random number generator |
Shell-related Utilities | Shell-like command line handling |
Simple XML Subset Parser | The Glib::Markup parser is intended to parse a simple markup format that's a subset of XML. This is a small, efficient, easy-to-use parser. It should not be used if you expect to interoperate with other applications generating full-scale XML. However, it's very useful for application data files, config files, etc. where you know your application will be the only one writing the file. Full-scale XML parsers should be able to parse the subset used by Glib::Markup parser, so you can easily migrate to full-scale XML at a later time if the need arises |

String Utility Functions | This section describes a number of utility functions for creating and manipulating strings, as well as other string-related stuff |
The Main Event Loop | Manages all available sources of events |
Thread Pools | Pools of threads to execute work concurrently |
Threads | Thread abstraction; including threads, different mutexes, conditions and thread private data |
URI Utilities | Various uri-related functions |
Unicode Manipulation | Functions operating on Unicode characters and UTF-8 strings |
Variant Data Types | The Variant classes deal with strongly typed variant data. A Variant stores a value along with information about the type of that value. The range of possible values is determined by the type. The type system used is VariantType |
