Answer 2

Apache Portable Time Project

http://apr.apache.org/

it's good. It covers basic data structures and is very good at network and IO abstraction. A later value is better than glib.

Unfortunately, most of the document links on apache sites are broken at the moment :-( But this work works http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/1.4/modules.html
