This is the ML-NLFFI Library, the core of a new foreign-function
interface for SML/NJ.

Library $/c.cm provides:

  - an encoding of the C type system in ML
  - dynamic linking (an interface to dlopen/dlsym)
  - ML/C string conversion routines

  This is the (only) library to be used by user code.

Library $/c-int.cm (subdirectory "internals"):

  - implements all of $/c.cm
  - implements low-level hooks to be used by ml-nlffigen-generated code

Library $/memory.cm (subdirectory "memory"):

  - encapsulates low-level details related to raw memory access

  User code should NOT directly refer to this library.
