-Supported Platforms and Prerequisites
-=====================================
-
-Libffi has been ported to:
-
-	SunOS 4.1.3 & Solaris 2.x (SPARC-V8, SPARC-V9)
-
-	Irix 5.3 & 6.2 (System V/o32 & n32)
-
-	Intel x86 - Linux (System V ABI)
-
-	Alpha - Linux and OSF/1
-
-	m68k - Linux (System V ABI)
-
-	PowerPC - Linux (System V ABI, Darwin, AIX)
-
-	ARM - Linux (System V ABI)
-
-Libffi has been tested with the egcs 1.0.2 gcc compiler. Chances are
-that other versions will work.  Libffi has also been built and tested
-with the SGI compiler tools.
-
-On PowerPC, the tests failed (see the note below).
-
-You must use GNU make to build libffi. SGI's make will not work.
-Sun's probably won't either.
-	
-If you port libffi to another platform, please let me know! I assume
-that some will be easy (x86 NetBSD), and others will be more difficult
-(HP).
-
+Supported Platforms
+===================
+
+Libffi has been ported to many different platforms, although this
+release was only tested on:
+
+     arm oabi linux
+     arm eabi linux
+     hppa64 linux
+     powerpc64 linux
+     sparc solaris (SPARC V9 ABI)

 Installing libffi
 =================
@@ -104,195 +87,6 @@ To ensure that libffi is working as advertised, type "make test".
 To install the library and header files, type "make install".
 
 
-Using libffi
-============
-
-	The Basics
-	----------
-
-Libffi assumes that you have a pointer to the function you wish to
-call and that you know the number and types of arguments to pass it,
-as well as the return type of the function.
-
-The first thing you must do is create an ffi_cif object that matches
-the signature of the function you wish to call. The `cif' in ffi_cif
-stands for Call InterFace. To prepare a call interface object, use the
-following function:
-
-ffi_status ffi_prep_cif(ffi_cif *cif, ffi_abi abi,
-			unsigned int nargs, 
-			ffi_type *rtype, ffi_type **atypes);
-
-	CIF is a pointer to the call interface object you wish
-		to initialize.
-
-	ABI is an enum that specifies the calling convention 
-		to use for the call. FFI_DEFAULT_ABI defaults
-		to the system's native calling convention. Other
-		ABI's may be used with care. They are system
-		specific.
-
-	NARGS is the number of arguments this function accepts.	
-		libffi does not yet support vararg functions.
-
-	RTYPE is a pointer to an ffi_type structure that represents
-		the return type of the function. Ffi_type objects
-		describe the types of values. libffi provides
-		ffi_type objects for many of the native C types:
-		signed int, unsigned int, signed char, unsigned char,
-		etc. There is also a pointer ffi_type object and
-		a void ffi_type. Use &ffi_type_void for functions that 
-		don't return values.
-
-	ATYPES is a vector of ffi_type pointers. ARGS must be NARGS long.
-		If NARGS is 0, this is ignored.
-
-
-ffi_prep_cif will return a status code that you are responsible 
-for checking. It will be one of the following:
-
-	FFI_OK - All is good.
-
-	FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF - One of the ffi_type objects that ffi_prep_cif
-		came across is bad.
-
-
-Before making the call, the VALUES vector should be initialized 
-with pointers to the appropriate argument values.
-
-To call the the function using the initialized ffi_cif, use the
-ffi_call function:
-
-void ffi_call(ffi_cif *cif, void *fn, void *rvalue, void **avalues);
-
-	CIF is a pointer to the ffi_cif initialized specifically
-		for this function.
-
-	FN is a pointer to the function you want to call.
-
-	RVALUE is a pointer to a chunk of memory that is to hold the
-		result of the function call. Currently, it must be
-		at least one word in size (except for the n32 version
-		under Irix 6.x, which must be a pointer to an 8 byte 
-		aligned value (a long long). It must also be at least 
-		word aligned (depending on the return type, and the
-		system's alignment requirements). If RTYPE is 
-		&ffi_type_void, this is ignored. If RVALUE is NULL, 
-		the return value is discarded.
-
-	AVALUES is a vector of void* that point to the memory locations
-		holding the argument values for a call.
-		If NARGS is 0, this is ignored.
-
-
-If you are expecting a return value from FN it will have been stored
-at RVALUE.
-
-
-
-	An Example
-	----------
-
-Here is a trivial example that calls puts() a few times.
-
-    #include <stdio.h>
-    #include <ffi.h>
-    
-    int main()
-    {
-      ffi_cif cif;
-      ffi_type *args[1];
-      void *values[1];
-      char *s;
-      int rc;
-      
-      /* Initialize the argument info vectors */    
-      args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer;
-      values[0] = &s;
-      
-      /* Initialize the cif */
-      if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1, 
-    		       &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK)
-        {
-          s = "Hello World!";
-          ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
-          /* rc now holds the result of the call to puts */
-          
-          /* values holds a pointer to the function's arg, so to 
-	     call puts() again all we need to do is change the 
-             value of s */
-          s = "This is cool!";
-          ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
-        }
-      
-      return 0;
-    }
-
-
-
-	Aggregate Types
-	---------------
-
-Although libffi has no special support for unions or bit-fields, it is
-perfectly happy passing structures back and forth. You must first
-describe the structure to libffi by creating a new ffi_type object
-for it. Here is the definition of ffi_type:
-
-    typedef struct _ffi_type
-    {
-      unsigned size;
-      short alignment;
-      short type;
-      struct _ffi_type **elements;
-    } ffi_type;
-    
-All structures must have type set to FFI_TYPE_STRUCT.  You may set
-size and alignment to 0. These will be calculated and reset to the
-appropriate values by ffi_prep_cif().
-
-elements is a NULL terminated array of pointers to ffi_type objects
-that describe the type of the structure elements. These may, in turn,
-be structure elements.
-
-The following example initializes a ffi_type object representing the
-tm struct from Linux's time.h:
-
-				    struct tm {
-					int tm_sec;
-					int tm_min;
-					int tm_hour;
-					int tm_mday;
-					int tm_mon;
-					int tm_year;
-					int tm_wday;
-					int tm_yday;
-					int tm_isdst;
-					/* Those are for future use. */
-					long int __tm_gmtoff__;
-					__const char *__tm_zone__;
-				    };
-
-    {
-      ffi_type tm_type;
-      ffi_type *tm_type_elements[12];
-      int i;
-
-      tm_type.size = tm_type.alignment = 0;
-      tm_type.elements = &tm_type_elements;
-    
-      for (i = 0; i < 9; i++)
-          tm_type_elements[i] = &ffi_type_sint;
-
-      tm_type_elements[9] = &ffi_type_slong;
-      tm_type_elements[10] = &ffi_type_pointer;
-      tm_type_elements[11] = NULL;
-
-      /* tm_type can now be used to represent tm argument types and
-	 return types for ffi_prep_cif() */
-    }

+1 What is libffi?
+*****************
+
+Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain
+conventions.  These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate
+compilation to work.  One such convention is the "calling convention".
+The calling convention is a set of assumptions made by the compiler
+about where function arguments will be found on entry to a function.  A
+calling convention also specifies where the return value for a function
+is found.  The calling convention is also sometimes called the "ABI" or
+"Application Binary Interface".  
+
+   Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
+are to be passed to a function.  For instance, an interpreter may be
+told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call a
+given function.  `Libffi' can be used in such programs to provide a
+bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
+
+   The `libffi' library provides a portable, high level programming
+interface to various calling conventions.  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.

+
+2.1 The Basics
+==============
+
+`Libffi' assumes that you have a pointer to the function you wish to
+call and that you know the number and types of arguments to pass it, as
+well as the return type of the function.
+
+   The first thing you must do is create an `ffi_cif' object that
+matches the signature of the function you wish to call.  This is a
+separate step because it is common to make multiple calls using a
+single `ffi_cif'.  The "cif" in `ffi_cif' stands for Call InterFace.
+To prepare a call interface object, use the function `ffi_prep_cif'.  
+
+ -- Function: ffi_status ffi_prep_cif (ffi_cif *CIF, ffi_abi ABI,
+          unsigned int NARGS, ffi_type *RTYPE, ffi_type **ARGTYPES)
+     This initializes CIF according to the given parameters.
+
+     ABI is the ABI to use; normally `FFI_DEFAULT_ABI' is what you
+     want.  *note Multiple ABIs:: for more information.
+
+     NARGS is the number of arguments that this function accepts.
+     `libffi' does not yet handle varargs functions; see *note Missing
+     Features:: for more information.
+
+     RTYPE is a pointer to an `ffi_type' structure that describes the
+     return type of the function.  *Note Types::.
+
+     ARGTYPES is a vector of `ffi_type' pointers.  ARGTYPES must have
+     NARGS elements.  If NARGS is 0, this argument is ignored.
+
+     `ffi_prep_cif' returns a `libffi' status code, of type
+     `ffi_status'.  This will be either `FFI_OK' if everything worked
+     properly; `FFI_BAD_TYPEDEF' if one of the `ffi_type' objects is
+     incorrect; or `FFI_BAD_ABI' if the ABI parameter is invalid.
+
+   To call a function using an initialized `ffi_cif', use the
+`ffi_call' function:
+
+ -- Function: void ffi_call (ffi_cif *CIF, void *FN, void *RVALUE, void
+          **AVALUES)
+     This calls the function FN according to the description given in
+     CIF.  CIF must have already been prepared using `ffi_prep_cif'.
+
+     RVALUE is a pointer to a chunk of memory that will hold the result
+     of the function call.  This must be large enough to hold the
+     result and must be suitably aligned; it is the caller's
+     responsibility to ensure this.  If CIF declares that the function
+     returns `void' (using `ffi_type_void'), then RVALUE is ignored.
+     If RVALUE is `NULL', then the return value is discarded.
+
+     AVALUES is a vector of `void *' pointers that point to the memory
+     locations holding the argument values for a call.  If CIF declares
+     that the function has no arguments (i.e., NARGS was 0), then
+     AVALUES is ignored.

+
+2.2 Simple Example
+==================
+
+Here is a trivial example that calls `puts' a few times.
+
+     #include <stdio.h>
+     #include <ffi.h>
+
+     int main()
+     {
+       ffi_cif cif;
+       ffi_type *args[1];
+       void *values[1];
+       char *s;
+       int rc;
+
+       /* Initialize the argument info vectors */
+       args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+       values[0] = &s;
+
+       /* Initialize the cif */
+       if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1,
+     		       &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK)
+         {
+           s = "Hello World!";
+           ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
+           /* rc now holds the result of the call to puts */
+
+           /* values holds a pointer to the function's arg, so to
+              call puts() again all we need to do is change the
+              value of s */
+           s = "This is cool!";
+           ffi_call(&cif, puts, &rc, values);
+         }
+
+       return 0;

+
+
+File: libffi.info,  Node: Primitive Types,  Next: Structures,  Up: Types
+
+2.3.1 Primitive Types
+---------------------
+
+`Libffi' provides a number of built-in type descriptors that can be
+used to describe argument and return types:
+
+`ffi_type_void'
+     The type `void'.  This cannot be used for argument types, only for
+     return values.
+
+`ffi_type_uint8'
+     An unsigned, 8-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint8'
+     A signed, 8-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint16'
+     An unsigned, 16-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint16'
+     A signed, 16-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint32'
+     An unsigned, 32-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint32'
+     A signed, 32-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint64'
+     An unsigned, 64-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint64'
+     A signed, 64-bit integer type.
+
+`ffi_type_float'
+     The C `float' type.
+
+`ffi_type_double'
+     The C `double' type.
+
+`ffi_type_uchar'
+     The C `unsigned char' type.
+
+`ffi_type_schar'
+     The C `signed char' type.  (Note that there is not an exact
+     equivalent to the C `char' type in `libffi'; ordinarily you should
+     either use `ffi_type_schar' or `ffi_type_uchar' depending on
+     whether `char' is signed.)
+
+`ffi_type_ushort'
+     The C `unsigned short' type.
+
+`ffi_type_sshort'
+     The C `short' type.
+
+`ffi_type_uint'
+     The C `unsigned int' type.
+
+`ffi_type_sint'
+     The C `int' type.
+
+`ffi_type_ulong'
+     The C `unsigned long' type.
+
+`ffi_type_slong'
+     The C `long' type.
+
+`ffi_type_longdouble'
+     On platforms that have a C `long double' type, this is defined.
+     On other platforms, it is not.
+
+`ffi_type_pointer'
+     A generic `void *' pointer.  You should use this for all pointers,
+     regardless of their real type.
+
+   Each of these is of type `ffi_type', so you must take the address
+when passing to `ffi_prep_cif'.
+
+
+File: libffi.info,  Node: Structures,  Next: Type Example,  Prev: Primitive Types,  Up: Types
+
+2.3.2 Structures
+----------------
+
+Although `libffi' has no special support for unions or bit-fields, it
+is perfectly happy passing structures back and forth.  You must first
+describe the structure to `libffi' by creating a new `ffi_type' object
+for it.
+
+ -- ffi_type:
+     The `ffi_type' has the following members:
+    `size_t size'
+          This is set by `libffi'; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+    `unsigned short alignment'
+          This is set by `libffi'; you should initialize it to zero.
+
+    `unsigned short type'
+          For a structure, this should be set to `FFI_TYPE_STRUCT'.
+
+    `ffi_type **elements'
+          This is a `NULL'-terminated array of pointers to `ffi_type'
+          objects.  There is one element per field of the struct.
+
+
+File: libffi.info,  Node: Type Example,  Prev: Structures,  Up: Types
+
+2.3.3 Type Example
+------------------
+
+The following example initializes a `ffi_type' object representing the
+`tm' struct from Linux's `time.h'.
+
+   Here is how the struct is defined:
+
+     struct tm {
+         int tm_sec;
+         int tm_min;
+         int tm_hour;
+         int tm_mday;
+         int tm_mon;
+         int tm_year;
+         int tm_wday;
+         int tm_yday;
+         int tm_isdst;
+         /* Those are for future use. */
+         long int __tm_gmtoff__;
+         __const char *__tm_zone__;
+     };
+
+   Here is the corresponding code to describe this struct to `libffi':
+
+         {
+           ffi_type tm_type;
+           ffi_type *tm_type_elements[12];
+           int i;
+
+           tm_type.size = tm_type.alignment = 0;
+           tm_type.elements = &tm_type_elements;
+
+           for (i = 0; i < 9; i++)
+               tm_type_elements[i] = &ffi_type_sint;
+
+           tm_type_elements[9] = &ffi_type_slong;
+           tm_type_elements[10] = &ffi_type_pointer;
+           tm_type_elements[11] = NULL;
+
+           /* tm_type can now be used to represent tm argument types and
+     	 return types for ffi_prep_cif() */
+         }
+
+
+File: libffi.info,  Node: Multiple ABIs,  Next: The Closure API,  Prev: Types,  Up: Using libffi
+
+2.4 Multiple ABIs
+=================
+
+A given platform may provide multiple different ABIs at once.  For
+instance, the x86 platform has both `stdcall' and `fastcall' functions.
+
+   `libffi' provides some support for this.  However, this is
+necessarily platform-specific.
+
+
+File: libffi.info,  Node: The Closure API,  Prev: Multiple ABIs,  Up: Using libffi
+
+2.5 The Closure API
+===================
+
+`libffi' also provides a way to write a generic function - a function
+that can accept and decode any combination of arguments.  This can be
+useful when writing an interpreter, or to provide wrappers for
+arbitrary functions.
+
+   This facility is called the "closure API".  Closures are not
+supported on all platforms; you can check the `FFI_CLOSURES' define to
+determine whether they are supported on the current platform.  
+
+   Because closures work by assembling a tiny function at runtime, they
+require special allocation on platforms that have a non-executable
+heap.  Memory management for closures is handled by a pair of functions:
+
+ -- Function: void *ffi_closure_alloc (size_t SIZE, void **CODE)
+     Allocate a chunk of memory holding SIZE bytes.  This returns a
+     pointer to the writable address, and sets *CODE to the
+     corresponding executable address.
+
+     SIZE should be sufficient to hold a `ffi_closure' object.
+
+ -- Function: void ffi_closure_free (void *WRITABLE)
+     Free memory allocated using `ffi_closure_alloc'.  The argument is
+     the writable address that was returned.
+
+   Once you have allocated the memory for a closure, you must construct
+a `ffi_cif' describing the function call.  Finally you can prepare the
+closure function:
+
+ -- Function: ffi_status ffi_prep_closure_loc (ffi_closure *CLOSURE,
+          ffi_cif *CIF, void (*FUN) (ffi_cif *CIF, void *RET, void
+          **ARGS, void *USER_DATA), void *USER_DATA, void *CODELOC)
+     Prepare a closure function.
+
+     CLOSURE is the address of a `ffi_closure' object; this is the
+     writable address returned by `ffi_closure_alloc'.
+
+     CIF is the `ffi_cif' describing the function parameters.
+
+     USER_DATA is an arbitrary datum that is passed, uninterpreted, to
+     your closure function.
+
+     CODELOC is the executable address returned by `ffi_closure_alloc'.
+
+     FUN is the function which will be called when the closure is
+     invoked.  It is called with the arguments:
+    CIF
+          The `ffi_cif' passed to `ffi_prep_closure_loc'.
+
+    RET
+          A pointer to the memory used for the function's return value.
+          FUN must fill this, unless the function is declared as
+          returning `void'.
+
+    ARGS
+          A vector of pointers to memory holding the arguments to the
+          function.
+
+    USER_DATA
+          The same USER_DATA that was passed to `ffi_prep_closure_loc'.
+
+     `ffi_prep_closure_loc' will return `FFI_OK' if everything went ok,
+     and something else on error.
+
+     After calling `ffi_prep_closure_loc', you can cast CODELOC to the
+     appropriate pointer-to-function type.
+
+   You may see old code referring to `ffi_prep_closure'.  This function
+is deprecated, as it cannot handle the need for separate writable and
+executable addresses.

+3 Missing Features
+******************
+
+`libffi' is missing a few features.  We welcome patches to add support
+for these.
+
+   * There is no support for calling varargs functions.  This may work
+     on some platforms, depending on how the ABI is defined, but it is
+     not reliable.
+
+   * There is no support for bit fields in structures.
+
+   * The closure API is
+
+   * The "raw" API is undocumented.

+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.
