What is the GNUstep Base Library?
|
|
|
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose,
|
|
|
|
|
non-graphical Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes
|
|
|
|
|
for strings, object collections, byte streams, typed coders,
|
|
|
|
|
invocations, notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time,
|
|
|
|
|
network ports, remote object messaging support (distributed objects),
|

and event loops.

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical

portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
