An Application Programming Interface (API) for programs with textual user interfaces, created by Andrew Plotkin.

A full description of Glk is available at the author's website.
Glulx is a virtual machine that uses Glk and is designed for use in writing interactive fiction. Tor Andersson has adapted many interpreters to use Glk API as part of Gargoyle project.
