     1.4 +The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface
     1.5 +to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to call any

     1.8 +FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface
     1.9 +is the popular name for the interface that allows code written in one
    1.10 +language to call code written in another language.

    1.12 +layer of a fully featured foreign function interface.
