NAME
FFI -- Foreign Function Interface
LIBRARY
libffi, -lffi
SYNOPSIS
#include <ffi.h>
ffi_status
ffi_prep_cif(ffi_cif *cif, ffi_abi abi, unsigned int nargs,
ffi_type *rtype, ffi_type **atypes);
void
ffi_prep_cif_var(ffi_cif *cif, ffi_abi abi, unsigned int nfixedargs,
unsigned int ntotalargs, ffi_type *rtype, ffi_type **atypes);
void
ffi_call(ffi_cif *cif, void (*fn)(void), void *rvalue, void **avalue);
DESCRIPTION
The foreign function interface provides a mechanism by which a function
can generate a call to another function at runtime without requiring
knowledge of the called function's interface at compile time.
