Let me quote from the glib documentation for g_print(): Outputs a formatted message via the print handler. The default print handler simply outputs the message to stdout. g_print() <https://people.gnome.org/%7Edesrt/glib-docs/glib-Warnings-and-Assertions.html#g-print> should not be used from within libraries for debugging messages, since it may be redirected by applications to special purpose message windows or even files. Instead, libraries should use g_log() <https://people.gnome.org/%7Edesrt/glib-docs/glib-Message-Logging.html#g-log>, or the convenience functions g_message() <https://people.gnome.org/%7Edesrt/glib-docs/glib-Message-Logging.html#g-message>, g_warning() <https://people.gnome.org/%7Edesrt/glib-docs/glib-Message-Logging.html#g-warning> and g_error() <https://people.gnome.org/%7Edesrt/glib-docs/glib-Message-Logging.html#g-error> .
