# The devel/libffi port

## libffi-3.0.9 – Foreign Function Interface

## Description

    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.
