51 | (description |
52 | "The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface | |
53 | to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to call any | |
54 | function specified by a call interface description at run-time. | |
55 | ||
56 | FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface is | |
57 | the popular name for the interface that allows code written in one language | |
58 | to call code written in another language. The libffi library really only | |
59 | provides the lowest, machine dependent layer of a fully featured foreign | |
60 | function interface. A layer must exist above libffi that handles type | |
61 | conversions for values passed between the two languages.") | |
