convertWithFallback ubyte[] convertWithFallback(ubyte[] str, string toCodeset, string fromCodeset, string fallback, size_t bytesRead): Converts a string from one character set to another, possibly including fallback sequences for characters not representable in the output. Note that it is not guaranteed that the specification for the fallback sequences in fallback will be honored. Some systems may do an approximate conversion from from_codeset to to_codeset in their iconv() functions, in which case GLib will simply return that approximate conversion.
creat int creat(string filename, int mode): A wrapper for the POSIX creat() function. The creat() function is used to convert a pathname into a file descriptor, creating a file if necessary.

datasetForeach void datasetForeach(const(void)* datasetLocation, glib.types.DataForeachFunc func): Calls the given function for each data element which is associated with the given location. Note that this function is NOT thread-safe. So unless dataset_location can be protected from any modifications during invocation of this function, it should not be called.
datasetIdGetData void* datasetIdGetData(const(void)* datasetLocation, glib.types.Quark keyId): Gets the data element corresponding to a #GQuark.
dcgettext string dcgettext(string domain, string msgid, int category): This is a variant of glib.global.dgettext that allows specifying a locale category instead of always using LC_MESSAGES. See glib.global.dgettext for more information about how this functions differs from calling dcgettext() directly.
dgettext string dgettext(string domain, string msgid): This function is a wrapper of dgettext() which does not translate the message if the default domain as set with textdomain() has no translations for the current locale.
directEqual bool directEqual(const(void)* v1, const(void)* v2): Compares two #gpointer arguments and returns true if they are equal. It can be passed to glib.hash_table.HashTable.new_ as the key_equal_func parameter, when using opaque pointers compared by pointer value as keys in a #GHashTable.

It can be passed to glib.hash_table.HashTable.new_ as the hash_func parameter, It can be passed to glib.hash_table.HashTable.new_ as the hash_func parameter, when using non-null pointers to doubles as keys in a #GHashTable.
dpgettext string dpgettext(string domain, string msgctxtid, size_t msgidoffset): This function is a variant of glib.global.dgettext which supports a disambiguating message context. GNU gettext uses the '\004' character to separate the message context and message id in msgctxtid. If 0 is passed as msgidoffset, this function will fall back to trying to use the deprecated convention of using "|" as a separation character.
dpgettext2 string dpgettext2(string domain, string context, string msgid): This function is a variant of glib.global.dgettext which supports a disambiguating message context. GNU gettext uses the '\004' character to separate the message context and message id in msgctxtid.

fileReadLink string fileReadLink(string filename): Reads the contents of the symbolic link filename like the POSIX readlink() function.
fileSetContents bool fileSetContents(string filename, ubyte[] contents): Writes all of contents to a file named filename. This is a convenience wrapper around calling glib.global.fileSetContentsFull with flags set to G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT | G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_ONLY_EXISTING and mode set to 0666.
fileSetContentsFull bool fileSetContentsFull(string filename, ubyte[] contents, glib.types.FileSetContentsFlags flags, int mode): Writes all of contents to a file named filename, with good error checking. If a file called filename already exists it will be overwritten.
fileTest bool fileTest(string filename, glib.types.FileTest test): Returns true if any of the tests in the bitfield test are true. For example, (G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR) will return true if the file exists; the check whether it's a directory doesn't matter since the existence test is true. With the current set of available tests, there's no point passing in more than one test at a time.
filenameDisplayBasename string filenameDisplayBasename(string filename): Returns the display basename for the particular filename, guaranteed to be valid UTF-8. The display name might not be identical to the filename, for instance there might be problems converting it to UTF-8, and some files can be translated in the display.
filenameDisplayName string filenameDisplayName(string filename): Converts a filename into a valid UTF-8 string. The conversion is not necessarily reversible, so you should keep the original around and use the return value of this function only for display purposes. Unlike glib.global.filenameToUtf8, the result is guaranteed to be non-null even if the filename actually isn't in the GLib file name encoding.
filenameFromUri string filenameFromUri(string uri, string hostname): Converts an escaped ASCII-encoded URI to a local filename in the encoding used for filenames.
filenameFromUtf8 string filenameFromUtf8(string utf8string, ptrdiff_t len, size_t bytesRead, size_t bytesWritten): Converts a string from UTF-8 to the encoding GLib uses for filenames. Note that on Windows GLib uses UTF-8 for filenames; on other platforms, this function indirectly depends on the [current locale]setlocale.
filenameToUri string filenameToUri(string filename, string hostname): Converts an absolute filename to an escaped ASCII-encoded URI, with the path component following Section 3.3. of RFC 2396.
filenameToUtf8 string filenameToUtf8(string opsysstring, ptrdiff_t len, size_t bytesRead, size_t bytesWritten): Converts a string which is in the encoding used by GLib for filenames into a UTF-8 string. Note that on Windows GLib uses UTF-8 for filenames; on other platforms, this function indirectly depends on the [current locale]setlocale.
findProgramInPath string findProgramInPath(string program): Locates the first executable named program in the user's path, in the same way that execvp() would locate it. Returns an allocated string with the absolute path name, or null if the program is not found in the path. If program is already an absolute path, returns a copy of program if program exists and is executable, and null otherwise.
fopen void* fopen(string filename, string mode): A wrapper for the stdio fopen() function. The fopen() function opens a file and associates a new stream with it.
formatSize string formatSize(ulong size): Formats a size (for example the size of a file) into a human readable string. Sizes are rounded to the nearest size prefix (kB, MB, GB) and are displayed rounded to the nearest tenth. E.g. the file size 3292528 bytes will be converted into the string "3.2 MB". The returned string is UTF-8, and may use a non-breaking space to separate the number and units, to ensure they aren’t separated when line wrapped.
formatSizeForDisplay string formatSizeForDisplay(long size): Formats a size (for example the size of a file) into a human readable string. Sizes are rounded to the nearest size prefix (KB, MB, GB) and are displayed rounded to the nearest tenth. E.g. the file size 3292528 bytes will be converted into the string "3.1 MB".
formatSizeFull string formatSizeFull(ulong size, glib.types.FormatSizeFlags flags): Formats a size.
freeSized void freeSized(void* mem, size_t size): Frees the memory pointed to by mem, assuming it is has the given size.

fsync int fsync(int fd): A wrapper for the POSIX fsync() function. On Windows, _commit() will be used. On macOS, fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) will be used. The fsync() function is used to synchronize a file's in-core state with that of the disk.
getApplicationName string getApplicationName(): Gets a human-readable name for the application, as set by glib.global.setApplicationName. This name should be localized if possible, and is intended for display to the user. Contrast with glib.global.getPrgname, which gets a non-localized name. If glib.global.setApplicationName has not been called, returns the result of glib.global.getPrgname (which may be null if glib.global.setPrgname has also not been called).
getCharset bool getCharset(string charset): Obtains the character set for the [current locale]setlocale; you might use this character set as an argument to glib.global.convert, to convert from the current locale's encoding to some other encoding. (Frequently glib.global.localeToUtf8 and glib.global.localeFromUtf8 are nice shortcuts, though.)
getCodeset string getCodeset(): Gets the character set for the current locale.
getConsoleCharset bool getConsoleCharset(string charset): Obtains the character set used by the console attached to the process, which is suitable for printing output to the terminal.
getCurrentDir string getCurrentDir(): Gets the current directory.

getEnviron string[] getEnviron(): Gets the list of environment variables for the current process.
getFilenameCharsets bool getFilenameCharsets(string[] filenameCharsets): Determines the preferred character sets used for filenames. The first character set from the charsets is the filename encoding, the subsequent character sets are used when trying to generate a displayable representation of a filename, see glib.global.filenameDisplayName.
getHomeDir string getHomeDir(): Gets the current user's home directory.
getHostName string getHostName(): Return a name for the machine.
getLanguageNames string[] getLanguageNames(): Computes a list of applicable locale names, which can be used to e.g. construct locale-dependent filenames or search paths. The returned list is sorted from most desirable to least desirable and always contains the default locale "C".
getLanguageNamesWithCategory string[] getLanguageNamesWithCategory(string categoryName): Computes a list of applicable locale names with a locale category name, which can be used to construct the fallback locale-dependent filenames or search paths. The returned list is sorted from most desirable to least desirable and always contains the default locale "C".
getLocaleVariants string[] getLocaleVariants(string locale): Returns a list of derived variants of locale, which can be used to e.g. construct locale-dependent filenames or search paths. The returned list is sorted from most desirable to least desirable. This function handles territory, charset and extra locale modifiers. See `setlocale(3)` for information about locales and their format.
getMonotonicTime long getMonotonicTime(): Queries the system monotonic time.
getNumProcessors uint getNumProcessors(): Determine the approximate number of threads that the system will schedule simultaneously for this process. This is intended to be used as a parameter to glib.thread_pool.ThreadPool.new_ for CPU bound tasks and similar cases.
getOsInfo string getOsInfo(string keyName): Get information about the operating system.
getPrgname string getPrgname(): Gets the name of the program. This name should not be localized, in contrast to glib.global.getApplicationName.

getUserDataDir string getUserDataDir(): Returns a base directory in which to access application data such as icons that is customized for a particular user.
getUserName string getUserName(): Gets the user name of the current user. The encoding of the returned string is system-defined. On UNIX, it might be the preferred file name encoding, or something else, and there is no guarantee that it is even consistent on a machine. On Windows, it is always UTF-8.
getUserRuntimeDir string getUserRuntimeDir(): Returns a directory that is unique to the current user on the local system.
getUserSpecialDir string getUserSpecialDir(glib.types.UserDirectory directory): Returns the full path of a special directory using its logical id.

ioCreateWatch glib.source.Source ioCreateWatch(glib.iochannel.IOChannel channel, glib.types.IOCondition condition): Creates a #GSource that's dispatched when condition is met for the given channel. For example, if condition is glib.types.IOCondition.In, the source will be dispatched when there's data available for reading.

logWriterSupportsColor bool logWriterSupportsColor(int outputFd): Check whether the given output_fd file descriptor supports ANSI color escape sequences.
lstat int lstat(string filename, glib.types.StatBuf buf): A wrapper for the POSIX lstat() function. The lstat() function is like stat() except that in the case of symbolic links, it returns information about the symbolic link itself and not the file that it refers to. If the system does not support symbolic links glib.global.lstat is identical to glib.global.stat.
mainCurrentSource glib.source.Source mainCurrentSource(): Returns the currently firing source for this thread.
mainDepth int mainDepth(): Returns the depth of the stack of calls to glib.main_context.MainContext.dispatch on any #GMainContext in the current thread. That is, when called from the toplevel, it gives 0. When called from within a callback from glib.main_context.MainContext.iteration (or glib.main_loop.MainLoop.run, etc.) it returns 1. When called from within a callback to a recursive call to glib.main_context.MainContext.iteration, it returns 2. And so forth.

malloc0N void* malloc0N(size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.malloc0, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.
mallocN void* mallocN(size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.gmalloc, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.
markupErrorQuark glib.types.Quark markupErrorQuark()
markupEscapeText string markupEscapeText(string text, ptrdiff_t length): Escapes text so that the markup parser will parse it verbatim. Less than, greater than, ampersand, etc. are replaced with the corresponding entities. This function would typically be used when writing out a file to be parsed with the markup parser.
memIsSystemMalloc bool memIsSystemMalloc(): Checks whether the allocator used by glib.global.gmalloc is the system's malloc implementation. If it returns true memory allocated with malloc() can be used interchangeably with memory allocated using glib.global.gmalloc. This function is useful for avoiding an extra copy of allocated memory returned by a non-GLib-based API.
memProfile void memProfile(): GLib used to support some tools for memory profiling, but this no longer works. There are many other useful tools for memory profiling these days which can be used instead.
memSetVtable void memSetVtable(glib.types.MemVTable vtable): This function used to let you override the memory allocation function. However, its use was incompatible with the use of global constructors in GLib and GIO, because those use the GLib allocators before main is reached. Therefore this function is now deprecated and is just a stub.
memdup void* memdup(const(void)* mem, uint byteSize): Allocates byte_size bytes of memory, and copies byte_size bytes into it from mem. If mem is NULL it returns NULL.
memdup2 void* memdup2(const(void)* mem, size_t byteSize): Allocates byte_size bytes of memory, and copies byte_size bytes into it from mem. If mem is NULL it returns NULL.

onErrorQuery void onErrorQuery(string prgName): Prompts the user with [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed. This function is intended to be used for debugging use only. The following example shows how it can be used together with the glib.global.log functions.
onErrorStackTrace void onErrorStackTrace(string prgName): Invokes gdb, which attaches to the current process and shows a stack trace. Called by glib.global.onErrorQuery when the "Stack trace" option is selected. You can get the current process's program name with glib.global.getPrgname, assuming that you have called gtk.global.init_ or gdk.global.init_.

pathSkipRoot string pathSkipRoot(string fileName): Returns a pointer into file_name after the root component, i.e. after the "/" in UNIX or "C:\" under Windows. If file_name is not an absolute path it returns null.
patternMatchSimple bool patternMatchSimple(string pattern, string string_): Matches a string against a pattern given as a string. If this function is to be called in a loop, it's more efficient to compile the pattern once with glib.pattern_spec.PatternSpec.new_ and call glib.global.patternMatchString repeatedly.

poll int poll(glib.types.PollFD fds, uint nfds, int timeout): Polls fds, as with the poll() system call, but portably. (On systems that don't have poll(), it is emulated using select().) This is used internally by #GMainContext, but it can be called directly if you need to block until a file descriptor is ready, but don't want to run the full main loop.
propagateError void propagateError(glib.error.ErrorG dest, glib.error.ErrorG src): If dest is null, free src; otherwise, moves src into *dest. The error variable dest points to must be null.
qsortWithData void qsortWithData(const(void)* pbase, int totalElems, size_t size, glib.types.CompareDataFunc compareFunc): This is just like the standard C qsort() function, but the comparison routine accepts a user data argument.

It returns the new address of the memory, which may have been moved. mem may be null, in which case it's considered to have zero-length. n_bytes may be 0, in which case null will be returned and mem will be freed unless it is null.
reallocN void* reallocN(void* mem, size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.realloc, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.

setApplicationName void setApplicationName(string applicationName): Sets a human-readable name for the application. This name should be localized if possible, and is intended for display to the user. Contrast with glib.global.setPrgname, which sets a non-localized name. glib.global.setPrgname will be called automatically by gtk.global.init_, but glib.global.setApplicationName will not.
setErrorLiteral void setErrorLiteral(glib.error.ErrorG err, glib.types.Quark domain, int code, string message): Does nothing if err is null; if err is non-null, then *err must be null. A new #GError is created and assigned to *err. Unlike glib.global.setError, message is not a printf()-style format string. Use this function if message contains text you don't have control over, that could include printf() escape sequences.
setPrgname void setPrgname(string prgname): Sets the name of the program. This name should not be localized, in contrast to glib.global.setApplicationName.
setenv bool setenv(string variable, string value, bool overwrite): Sets an environment variable. On UNIX, both the variable's name and value can be arbitrary byte strings, except that the variable's name cannot contain '='. On Windows, they should be in UTF-8.
shellErrorQuark glib.types.Quark shellErrorQuark()
shellParseArgv bool shellParseArgv(string commandLine, string[] argvp): 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).

spawnAsyncWithPipesAndFds bool spawnAsyncWithPipesAndFds(string workingDirectory, string[] argv, string[] envp, glib.types.SpawnFlags flags, glib.types.SpawnChildSetupFunc childSetup, int stdinFd, int stdoutFd, int stderrFd, int[] sourceFds, int[] targetFds, glib.types.Pid childPidOut, int stdinPipeOut, int stdoutPipeOut, int stderrPipeOut): Executes a child program asynchronously (your program will not block waiting for the child to exit).
spawnCheckExitStatus bool spawnCheckExitStatus(int waitStatus): An old name for glib.global.spawnCheckWaitStatus, deprecated because its name is misleading.
spawnCheckWaitStatus bool spawnCheckWaitStatus(int waitStatus): Set error if wait_status indicates the child exited abnormally (e.g. with a nonzero exit code, or via a fatal signal).
spawnClosePid void spawnClosePid(glib.types.Pid pid): On some platforms, notably Windows, the #GPid type represents a resource which must be closed to prevent resource leaking. glib.global.spawnClosePid is provided for this purpose. It should be used on all platforms, even though it doesn't do anything under UNIX.
spawnCommandLineAsync bool spawnCommandLineAsync(string commandLine): A simple version of glib.global.spawnAsync that parses a command line with glib.global.shellParseArgv and passes it to glib.global.spawnAsync.
spawnCommandLineSync bool spawnCommandLineSync(string commandLine, string standardOutput, string standardError, int waitStatus): A simple version of glib.global.spawnSync with little-used parameters removed, taking a command line instead of an argument vector.

stat int stat(string filename, glib.types.StatBuf buf): A wrapper for the POSIX stat() function. The stat() function returns information about a file. On Windows the stat() function in the C library checks only the FAT-style READONLY attribute and does not look at the ACL at all. Thus on Windows the protection bits in the st_mode field are a fabrication of little use.
stpcpy string stpcpy(string dest, string src): Copies a nul-terminated string into the destination buffer, including the trailing nul byte, and returns a pointer to the trailing nul byte in dest. The return value is useful for concatenating multiple strings without having to repeatedly scan for the end.

Additionally all characters in the range 0x01-0x1F (everything below SPACE) and in the range 0x7F-0xFF (all non-ASCII chars) are replaced with a '\' followed by their octal representation. Characters supplied in exceptions are not escaped.
stripContext string stripContext(string msgid, string msgval): An auxiliary function for gettext() support (see Q_()).
strjoinv string strjoinv(string separator, string[] strArray): Joins an array of strings together to form one long string, with the optional separator inserted between each of them.
strlcat size_t strlcat(string dest, string src, size_t destSize): Portability wrapper that calls strlcat() on systems which have it, and emulates it otherwise. Appends nul-terminated src string to dest, guaranteeing nul-termination for dest. The total size of dest won't exceed dest_size.
strlcpy size_t strlcpy(string dest, string src, size_t destSize): Portability wrapper that calls strlcpy() on systems which have it, and emulates strlcpy() otherwise. Copies src to dest; dest is guaranteed to be nul-terminated; src must be nul-terminated; dest_size is the buffer size, not the number of bytes to copy.
strncasecmp int strncasecmp(string s1, string s2, uint n): A case-insensitive string comparison, corresponding to the standard strncasecmp() function on platforms which support it. It is similar to funcGLib.strcasecmp except it only compares the first n characters of the strings.
strndup string strndup(string str, size_t n): Duplicates the first n bytes of a string, returning a newly-allocated buffer n + 1 bytes long which will always be nul-terminated. If str is less than n bytes long the buffer is padded with nuls. If str is NULL it returns NULL.

strsplit string[] strsplit(string string_, string delimiter, int maxTokens): Splits a string into a maximum of max_tokens pieces, using the given delimiter. If max_tokens is reached, the remainder of string is appended to the last token.
strsplitSet string[] strsplitSet(string string_, string delimiters, int maxTokens): Splits string into a number of tokens not containing any of the characters in delimiters. A token is the (possibly empty) longest string that does not contain any of the characters in delimiters. If max_tokens is reached, the remainder is appended to the last token.
strstrLen string strstrLen(string haystack, ptrdiff_t haystackLen, string needle): Searches the string haystack for the first occurrence of the string needle, limiting the length of the search to haystack_len or a nul terminator byte (whichever is reached first).

Similar to glib.global.testRunSuite, the test cases to be run are filtered according to test path arguments (-p testpath and -s testpath) as parsed by glib.global.testInit. glib.global.testRunSuite or glib.global.testRun may only be called once in a program.
testRunSuite int testRunSuite(glib.test_suite.TestSuite suite): Execute the tests within suite and all nested #GTestSuites. The test suites to be executed are filtered according to test path arguments (-p testpath and -s testpath) as parsed by glib.global.testInit.

testSetNonfatalAssertions void testSetNonfatalAssertions(): Changes the behaviour of the various g_assert_*() macros, g_test_assert_expected_messages() and the various g_test_trap_assert_*() macros to not abort to program, but instead call glib.global.testFail and continue. (This also changes the behavior of glib.global.testFail so that it will not cause the test program to abort after completing the failed test.)
testSkip void testSkip(string msg): Indicates that a test was skipped.
testSubprocess bool testSubprocess(): Returns true (after glib.global.testInit has been called) if the test program is running under glib.global.testTrapSubprocess.
testSummary void testSummary(string summary): Set the summary for a test, which describes what the test checks, and how it goes about checking it. This may be included in test report output, and is useful documentation for anyone reading the source code or modifying a test in future. It must be a single line.
testTimerElapsed double testTimerElapsed(): Get the number of seconds since the last start of the timer with glib.global.testTimerStart.
testTimerLast double testTimerLast(): Report the last result of glib.global.testTimerElapsed.
testTimerStart void testTimerStart(): Start a timing test. Call glib.global.testTimerElapsed when the task is supposed to be done. Call this function again to restart the timer.

timeoutAdd uint timeoutAdd(int priority, uint interval, glib.types.SourceFunc function_): Sets a function to be called at regular intervals, with the given priority. The function is called repeatedly until it returns false, at which point the timeout is automatically destroyed and the function will not be called again. The notify function is called when the timeout is destroyed. The first call to the function will be at the end of the first interval.
timeoutAddSeconds uint timeoutAddSeconds(int priority, uint interval, glib.types.SourceFunc function_): Sets a function to be called at regular intervals, with priority.
timeoutSourceNew glib.source.Source timeoutSourceNew(uint interval): Creates a new timeout source.
timeoutSourceNewSeconds glib.source.Source timeoutSourceNewSeconds(uint interval): Creates a new timeout source.

tryMalloc0 void* tryMalloc0(size_t nBytes): Attempts to allocate n_bytes, initialized to 0's, and returns null on failure. Contrast with glib.global.malloc0, which aborts the program on failure.
tryMalloc0N void* tryMalloc0N(size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.tryMalloc0, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.
tryMallocN void* tryMallocN(size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.tryMalloc, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.
tryRealloc void* tryRealloc(void* mem, size_t nBytes): Attempts to realloc mem to a new size, n_bytes, and returns null on failure. Contrast with glib.global.realloc, which aborts the program on failure.
tryReallocN void* tryReallocN(void* mem, size_t nBlocks, size_t nBlockBytes): This function is similar to glib.global.tryRealloc, allocating (n_blocks * n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to detect possible overflow during multiplication.
ucs4ToUtf16 ushort[] ucs4ToUtf16(dchar[] str, glong itemsRead, glong itemsWritten): Convert a string from UCS-4 to UTF-16. A 0 character will be added to the result after the converted text.

unicharBreakType glib.types.UnicodeBreakType unicharBreakType(dchar c): Determines the break type of c. c should be a Unicode character (to derive a character from UTF-8 encoded text, use glib.global.utf8GetChar). The break type is used to find word and line breaks ("text boundaries"), Pango implements the Unicode boundary resolution algorithms and normally you would use a function such as pango.global.break_ instead of caring about break types yourself.
unicharCombiningClass int unicharCombiningClass(dchar uc): Determines the canonical combining class of a Unicode character.

unicharFullyDecompose size_t unicharFullyDecompose(dchar ch, bool compat, dchar result, size_t resultLen): Computes the canonical or compatibility decomposition of a Unicode character. For compatibility decomposition, pass true for compat; for canonical decomposition pass false for compat.
unicharGetMirrorChar bool unicharGetMirrorChar(dchar ch, dchar mirroredCh): In Unicode, some characters are "mirrored". This means that their images are mirrored horizontally in text that is laid out from right to left. For instance, "(" would become its mirror image, ")", in right-to-left text.
unicharGetScript glib.types.UnicodeScript unicharGetScript(dchar ch): Looks up the #GUnicodeScript for a particular character (as defined by Unicode Standard Annex \#24). No check is made for ch being a valid Unicode character; if you pass in invalid character, the result is undefined.

unicharIsprint bool unicharIsprint(dchar c): Determines whether a character is printable. Unlike glib.global.unicharIsgraph, returns true for spaces. Given some UTF-8 text, obtain a character value with glib.global.utf8GetChar.
unicharIspunct bool unicharIspunct(dchar c): Determines whether a character is punctuation or a symbol. Given some UTF-8 text, obtain a character value with glib.global.utf8GetChar.
unicharIsspace bool unicharIsspace(dchar c): Determines whether a character is a space, tab, or line separator (newline, carriage return, etc.). Given some UTF-8 text, obtain a character value with glib.global.utf8GetChar.
unicharIstitle bool unicharIstitle(dchar c): Determines if a character is titlecase. Some characters in Unicode which are composites, such as the DZ digraph have three case variants instead of just two. The titlecase form is used at the beginning of a word where only the first letter is capitalized. The titlecase form of the DZ digraph is U+01F2 LATIN CAPITAL LETTTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z.

unicharIswideCjk bool unicharIswideCjk(dchar c): Determines if a character is typically rendered in a double-width cell under legacy East Asian locales. If a character is wide according to glib.global.unicharIswide, then it is also reported wide with this function, but the converse is not necessarily true. See the Unicode Standard Annex #11
for details.
unicharIsxdigit bool unicharIsxdigit(dchar c): Determines if a character is a hexadecimal digit.
unicharIszerowidth bool unicharIszerowidth(dchar c): Determines if a given character typically takes zero width when rendered. The return value is true for all non-spacing and enclosing marks (e.g., combining accents), format characters, zero-width space, but not U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN.

unixOpenPipe bool unixOpenPipe(int[] fds, int flags): Similar to the UNIX pipe() call, but on modern systems like Linux uses the pipe2() system call, which atomically creates a pipe with the configured flags.
unixSetFdNonblocking bool unixSetFdNonblocking(int fd, bool nonblock): Control the non-blocking state of the given file descriptor, according to nonblock. On most systems this uses O_NONBLOCK, but on some older ones may use O_NDELAY.
unixSignalAdd uint unixSignalAdd(int priority, int signum, glib.types.SourceFunc handler): A convenience function for glib.global.unixSignalSourceNew, which attaches to the default #GMainContext. You can remove the watch using glib.source.Source.remove.
unixSignalSourceNew glib.source.Source unixSignalSourceNew(int signum): Create a #GSource that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX signal signum. In GLib versions before 2.36, only SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM can be monitored. In GLib 2.36, SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 were added. In GLib 2.54, SIGWINCH was added.
unlink int unlink(string filename): 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.

utf8Casefold string utf8Casefold(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Converts a string into a form that is independent of case. The result will not correspond to any particular case, but can be compared for equality or ordered with the results of calling glib.global.utf8Casefold on other strings.
utf8Collate int utf8Collate(string str1, string str2): Compares two strings for ordering using the linguistically correct rules for the [current locale]setlocale. When sorting a large number of strings, it will be significantly faster to obtain collation keys with glib.global.utf8CollateKey and compare the keys with strcmp() when sorting instead of sorting the original strings.
utf8CollateKey string utf8CollateKey(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Converts a string into a collation key that can be compared with other collation keys produced by the same function using strcmp().
utf8CollateKeyForFilename string utf8CollateKeyForFilename(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Converts a string into a collation key that can be compared with other collation keys produced by the same function using strcmp().

utf8GetCharValidated dchar utf8GetCharValidated(string p, ptrdiff_t maxLen): Convert a sequence of bytes encoded as UTF-8 to a Unicode character. This function checks for incomplete characters, for invalid characters such as characters that are out of the range of Unicode, and for overlong encodings of valid characters.
utf8MakeValid string utf8MakeValid(string str, ptrdiff_t len): If the provided string is valid UTF-8, return a copy of it. If not, return a copy in which bytes that could not be interpreted as valid Unicode are replaced with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD).
utf8Normalize string utf8Normalize(string str, ptrdiff_t len, glib.types.NormalizeMode mode): Converts a string into canonical form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed character. The string has to be valid UTF-8, otherwise null is returned. You should generally call glib.global.utf8Normalize before comparing two Unicode strings.
utf8OffsetToPointer string utf8OffsetToPointer(string str, glong offset): Converts from an integer character offset to a pointer to a position within the string.
utf8PointerToOffset glong utf8PointerToOffset(string str, string pos): Converts from a pointer to position within a string to an integer character offset.
utf8PrevChar string utf8PrevChar(string p): Finds the previous UTF-8 character in the string before p.
utf8Strchr string utf8Strchr(string p, ptrdiff_t len, dchar c): Finds the leftmost occurrence of the given Unicode character in a UTF-8 encoded string, while limiting the search to len bytes. If len is -1, allow unbounded search.
utf8Strdown string utf8Strdown(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Converts all Unicode characters in the string that have a case to lowercase. The exact manner that this is done depends on the current locale, and may result in the number of characters in the string changing.
utf8Strlen glong utf8Strlen(string p, ptrdiff_t max): Computes the length of the string in characters, not including the terminating nul character. If the max'th byte falls in the middle of a character, the last (partial) character is not counted.
utf8Strncpy string utf8Strncpy(string dest, string src, size_t n): Like the standard C strncpy() function, but copies a given number of characters instead of a given number of bytes. The src string must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. (Use glib.global.utf8Validate on all text before trying to use UTF-8 utility functions with it.)
utf8Strrchr string utf8Strrchr(string p, ptrdiff_t len, dchar c): Find the rightmost occurrence of the given Unicode character in a UTF-8 encoded string, while limiting the search to len bytes. If len is -1, allow unbounded search.
utf8Strreverse string utf8Strreverse(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Reverses a UTF-8 string. str must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. (Use glib.global.utf8Validate on all text before trying to use UTF-8 utility functions with it.)
utf8Strup string utf8Strup(string str, ptrdiff_t len): Converts all Unicode characters in the string that have a case to uppercase. The exact manner that this is done depends on the current locale, and may result in the number of characters in the string increasing. (For instance, the German ess-zet will be changed to SS.)
utf8Substring string utf8Substring(string str, glong startPos, glong endPos): Copies a substring out of a UTF-8 encoded string. The substring will contain end_pos - start_pos characters.
utf8ToUcs4 dchar[] utf8ToUcs4(string str, glong len, glong itemsRead): Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4. A trailing 0 character will be added to the string after the converted text.
utf8ToUcs4Fast dchar[] utf8ToUcs4Fast(string str): Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4, assuming valid UTF-8 input. This function is roughly twice as fast as glib.global.utf8ToUcs4 but does no error checking on the input. A trailing 0 character will be added to the string after the converted text.
utf8ToUtf16 ushort[] utf8ToUtf16(string str, glong len, glong itemsRead): Convert a string from UTF-8 to UTF-16. A 0 character will be added to the result after the converted text.
utf8TruncateMiddle string utf8TruncateMiddle(string string_, size_t truncateLength): Cuts off the middle of the string, preserving half of truncate_length characters at the beginning and half at the end.
utf8Validate bool utf8Validate(ubyte[] str, string end): Validates UTF-8 encoded text. str is the text to validate; if str is nul-terminated, then max_len can be -1, otherwise max_len should be the number of bytes to validate. If end is non-null, then the end of the valid range will be stored there (i.e. the start of the first invalid character if some bytes were invalid, or the end of the text being validated otherwise).
utf8ValidateLen bool utf8ValidateLen(ubyte[] str, string end): Validates UTF-8 encoded text.
uuidStringIsValid bool uuidStringIsValid(string str): Parses the string str and verify if it is a UUID.
uuidStringRandom string uuidStringRandom(): 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.
