        <para>
            <link linkend="class-giounixinputstream"><classname>gio.unix.InputStream</classname></link>
            implements <link linkend="class-gioinputstream"><classname>gio.InputStream</classname></link>
	    for reading from a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations.
	    The file descriptor must be selectable, so it doesn't work with opened files.
	</para>
	<para>
	    Note that <link linkend="class-giounixinputstream"><classname>gio.unix.InputStream</classname></link>
	    belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file
	    when using it.
