3. The Haskell FFI Marshalling Library

The Haskell FFI Marshalling Library is a proposed standard library for foreign function interoperability. The interface of the C2HS marshalling library is a slight extension of the Haskell FFI Marshalling Library, which is documented in the following.

The library is partitioned into a language independent and a C specific component. All features of the former are available from the module Foreign and all features of the later from CForeign. Nevertheless, the following module hierarchy is part of the interface definition:

It is recommended to access this functionality in C->Haskell binding modules by merely importing C2HS.
