ffi_prep_cif(3)          BSD Library Functions Manual          ffi_prep_cif(3)


NAME

     ffi_prep_cif -- Prepare a ffi_cif structure for use with ffi_call or
     ffi_prep_closure.


SYNOPSIS

     #include <ffi/ffi.h>

     ffi_status
     ffi_prep_cif(ffi_cif *cif, ffi_abi abi, unsigned int nargs,
         ffi_type *rtype, ffi_type **atypes);


DESCRIPTION

     The ffi_prep_cif function prepares a ffi_cif structure for use with
     ffi_call or ffi_prep_closure.  abi specifies a set of calling conventions
     to use.  atypes is an array of nargs pointers to ffi_type structs that
     describe the data type, size and alignment of each argument.  rtype
     points to an ffi_type that describes the data type, size and alignment of
     the return value.


RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, ffi_prep_cif returns FFI_OK.  It will return
     FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF if cif is NULL or atypes or rtype is malformed. If abi
     does not refer to a valid ABI, FFI_BAD_ABI will be returned. Available
     ABIs are defined in <ffi/ppc-ffitarget.h> and <ffi/x86-ffitarget.h>.
