- CFunctionDescriptor comment:
- 'I am not part of the Smalltalk definition. My instances contain information
- about C functions that can be called from within Smalltalk, such as number
- and type of parameters. This information is used by the C callout mechanism
- to perform the actual call-out to C routines.' !
-
-
- "A couple of simple, but useful callout functions, as examples."
