.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm ffi_call
function provides a simple mechanism for invoking a function without
requiring knowledge of the function's interface at compile time.
.Fa fn
is called with the values retrieved from the pointers in the
.Fa avalue
array. The return value from
.Fa fn
is placed in storage pointed to by
.Fa rvalue .
.Fa cif
contains information describing the data types, sizes and alignments of the
arguments to and return value from
.Fa fn ,
and must be initialized with
.Nm ffi_prep_cif
before it is used with
.Nm ffi_call .
.Pp
.Fa rvalue
must point to storage that is sizeof(long) or larger. For smaller
return value sizes, the
.Nm ffi_arg
or
.Nm ffi_sarg
integral type must be used to hold
the return value.
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Bd -literal
#include <ffi/ffi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char
foo(unsigned int, float);
int
main(int argc, const char **argv)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fa closure
is prepared to execute

.Fa cif
contains information describing the data types, sizes and alignments of the
arguments to and return value from the function that will be called from
.Fa fun ,
and must be initialized with

.Fa user_data
may point to additional data to be used in

If no additional data is needed,

may be

When
.Fa closure
is invoked,
.Fa fun
is called with
.Fa cif ,
an array of pointers to arguments, a pointer to a return value, and
.Fa user_data .
.Pp
Some architectures do not allow the execution of data by default. In such cases,
it is necessary to manually alter the permissions of the page that contains
.Fa closure
prior to its execution.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
.Nm ffi_prep_closure
returns
.Nm FFI_OK .
If the ABI specified in
.Fa cif
does not refer to a valid ABI,
.Nm FFI_BAD_ABI
