Title: libffi -- Portable foreign-function interface library
Abstract: The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming
interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
call any function specified by a call interface description at run
time.
.
FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface
is the popular name for the interface that allows code written in one
language to call code written in another language. The libffi library
really only provides the lowest, machine dependent layer of a fully featured
foreign function interface. A layer must exist above libffi that handles
type conversions for values passed between the two languages.
