Description-en: library for binding to C libraries using pure OCaml (runtime)
The ocaml-ctypes library makes it possible to call C functions
directly from OCaml without writing or generating C code. The core
of the library is a set of combinators for describing C types --
scalars, functions, structs, unions, arrays, and pointers to values
and functions. Type descriptions can then be used to bind native
functions and values.
.
This package contains the shared runtime stub library and plugins.
