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."
