+ * @title: Arrays
+ * @short_description: arrays of arbitrary elements which grow
+ * automatically as elements are added
+ *
+ * Arrays are similar to standard C arrays, except that they grow
+ * automatically as elements are added.
+ *
+ * Array elements can be of any size (though all elements of one array
+ * are the same size), and the array can be automatically cleared to
+ * '0's and zero-terminated.
+ *
+ * To create a new array use g_array_new().
+ *
+ * To add elements to an array, use g_array_append_val(),
+ * g_array_append_vals(), g_array_prepend_val(), and
+ * g_array_prepend_vals().
+ *
+ * To access an element of an array, use g_array_index().
+ *
+ * To set the size of an array, use g_array_set_size().
+ *
+ * To free an array, use g_array_free().
+ *
+ * <example>
+ * <title>Using a #GArray to store #gint values</title>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * GArray *garray;
+ * gint i;
+ * /<!-- -->* We create a new array to store gint values.
+ * We don't want it zero-terminated or cleared to 0's. *<!-- -->/
+ * garray = g_array_new (FALSE, FALSE, sizeof (gint));
+ * for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
+ * g_array_append_val (garray, i);
+ * for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
+ * if (g_array_index (garray, gint, i) != i)
+ * g_print ("ERROR: got &percnt;d instead of &percnt;d\n",
+ * g_array_index (garray, gint, i), i);
+ * g_array_free (garray, TRUE);
+ * </programlisting>

+ * @short_description: arrays of pointers to any type of data, which

+ *
+ * Pointer Arrays are similar to Arrays but are used only for storing
+ * pointers.
+ *
+ * <note><para>If you remove elements from the array, elements at the
+ * end of the array are moved into the space previously occupied by the
+ * removed element. This means that you should not rely on the index of
+ * particular elements remaining the same. You should also be careful
+ * when deleting elements while iterating over the array.</para></note>
+ *
+ * To create a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_new().
+ *
+ * To add elements to a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_add().
+ *
+ * To remove elements from a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_remove(),
+ * g_ptr_array_remove_index() or g_ptr_array_remove_index_fast().
+ *
+ * To access an element of a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_index().
+ *
+ * To set the size of a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_set_size().
+ *
+ * To free a pointer array, use g_ptr_array_free().
