"Note that the functions g_printf(), g_fprintf(), g_sprintf(),
g_snprintf(), g_vprintf(), g_vfprintf(), g_vsprintf() and g_vsnprintf()
are declared in the header gprintf.h which is not included in glib.h
(otherwise using glib.h would drag in stdio.h), so you'll have to
explicitly include <glib/gprintf.h> in order to use the GLib printf()
functions."

Also note that g_print differs from g_printf in that you can use
g_set_print_handler to send the output from g_print somewhere other than
stdout.
