pointer
formAs mentioned in the previous section, every data type can be pointerised, that is create another FFI-object with the address of the data (not the data itself). We say such data point to other data.
The syntax for this is the form '(pointer data-type)
,
so for example the FFI-type '(pointer int)
is the data type
‘int*’ in C.
