man ffi_call

[Klaus Grue <grue at diku dot dk>]

Hi libffi-discuss@sourceware.org,

I just learned about libffi and would wish I had learned about it long 
ago. I would wish that 'SEE ALSO' in 'man dlopen' contained a pointer to 
ffi_call. At least that would have saved me a lot of time and trouble.

But in my opinion, a reference to ffi_call(3) from dlopen(3) would require 
the ffi man pages to be more complete than they are at present. Among 
other, the ffi man pages do not mention which ffi types are predefined.

So I have written the attached man pages for ffi_call(3) and 
ffi_prep_cif(3). They are based on libffi.info. I have taken the liberty 
to give the information a complete overhawl.

To see the man page, proceed thus:
> save man.tar.bz2 to your current directory
> tar xjf man.tar.bz2
> man -M man ffi_call
> man -M man ffi_prep_cif

If you don't like the man pages, please ignore them. If you like them or 
part of them, please use them as you like.

Cheers,
Klaus
