        Features
        ========
        
        * Free software: LGPLv3 license
        * Supports lots of glibc functions (see below), data types and constants.
        * Supported on python 2.7+ and python 3.2+ and pypy
        * All other useful glibc features are in scope (patches welcome!)
        * ``from glibc import ...`` -- direct access to glibc functions and types via
          lazy imports, fast startup, low memory overhead, efficient calls to glibc
        * Declarative code, easy to verify for correctness, easy to add more types,
          functions and constants.
        * Translates error codes according to documentation (manual pages) of each
          supported function. Raises OSError with appropriate values and a customized,
          easy-to-understand error message.
        
        
        Functions
        =========
