65.1 Basic C Types and Functions

In order to provide a convenient way to access the standard C library (libc), FFI comes with a set of predefined types and functions. Of course, you can access other functions and define other types beside the ones in libc. The discussion here is intended to be a basic introduction to FFI. To use a specific library see the more general sections Calling Foreign Functions and User-Defined Types.
