💅 mlnlffigen — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so this is mlnlffigen(1), from the General Commands Manual, and it's genuinely so useful. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mlnlffigen — the glue-code generator you use with the new "NLFFI" foreign function interface for Standard ML and MLton 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlnlffigen [option ...] C-file ...

so like, you give it options (if you want), and then one or more C files, and it does its thing ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

mlnlffigen takes a C source file as its input. literally, that's the whole vibe.

then it produces output in NLFFI-Generated:

• the glue-code for Standard ML 💖
• and in NLFFI-Generated\nlffi-generated.mlb, an ML Basis system file 🌈

so it's giving "input: C, output: SML glue-code plus an MLB file" and honestly? iconic. it ate. 👑

heads up: that middle one is written exactly as NLFFI-Generated\nlffi-generated.mlb in the source, so keep it exactly like that, no cap 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• mlton(1) — go read that one too, bestie, it's the main character 🫶

and that's the whole page, no notes 💅
