<para>
The <application>gdk-pixbuf</application> library provides a
simple mechanism for loading an image from a file in synchronous
fashion. This means that the library takes control of the
application while the file is being loaded; from the user's point
of view, the application will block until the image is done
loading.
</para>
<para>
This interface can be used by applications in which blocking is
acceptable while an image is being loaded. It can also be used to
load small images in general. Applications that need progressive
loading can use the #GdkPixbufLoader functionality instead.
