Ya, stdio.h is just a header. However, as of glib reference, I expected that its the usual reference to the set of c-libraries available under /usr/lib/* . Please re-confirm me, if its not.

Its a fact that gcc/g++ is capable of attaching stdio.h headers, by default -if not specified and is no longer a requirement for a source code to explicitly add it. I, however, thought that its a feature implemented only under gcc and didn't know that its now a standard proposed.

Thanks.

mission-control-5

MISSION-CONTROL-5(8)						  D-Bus services					      MISSION-CONTROL-5(8)

NAME

       mission-control-5 - Telepathy account manager/chanel dispatcher

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5

DESCRIPTION

       Mission	Control  5  implements	the AccountManager and ChannelDispatcher services described in the Telepathy D-Bus specification, allowing
       clients like empathy(1) to store account details, connect to accounts, request communication channels,  and  have  channels  dispatched	to
       them.

       It  is a D-Bus service which runs on the session bus, and should usually be started automatically by D-Bus activation. However, it might be
       useful to start it manually for debugging.

OPTIONS

       There are no command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT

       MC_DEBUG=all or MC_DEBUG=category[,category...]
	      May be set to "all" for full debug output from Mission Control and telepathy-glib, or various undocumented category names (which may
	      change  from  release  to  release) to filter the output. See Mission Control and telepathy-glib source code for the available cate-
	      gories.

       MC_DEBUG=level
	      Set a numeric debug level for Mission Control itself (but not telepathy-glib).  Level 0 logs nothing, level 1  logs  most  messages,
	      and level 2 logs all messages.

       MC_TP_DEBUG=type
	      May be set to "all" for full debug output from telepathy-glib, or various undocumented options (which may change from telepathy-glib
	      release to release) to filter the output. See telepathy-glib source code for the available options.
