+ (description
+ "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.")
