@section 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), event loops, and
|
|
random number generators.
|
|
|
|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
|
|
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
|
|
