Title: Overview
# Overview
GtkSourceView is a [GNOME](https://www.gnome.org/) library
that extends GtkTextView, the standard GTK widget for multiline text
editing. GtkSourceView adds support for syntax highlighting, undo/redo, file
loading and saving, search and replace, a completion system, printing,
displaying line numbers, and other features typical of a source code editor.
See the [GtkSourceView website](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView).
GtkSourceView 5 depends on GTK 4.
## pkg-config name
For GtkSourceView 5, the pkg-config name is: `gtksourceview-5`
To compile a program that uses GtkSourceView 5, you
can for example use the following command:
```
$ gcc hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtksourceview-5` -o hello
```
## Library Initialization
Your application *MUST* initialize GtkSourceView from `main()`.
Call `gtk_source_init()` or it's variant within your programming language.
A great place to do this is right after calling `gtk_init()`.
In language bindings, this function is often named similar to `GtkSource.init()`.
