  Description
  AltCallingConvention
  Tagging interface to indicate the library or callback uses an alternate calling convention.
  Callback
  All callback definitions must derive from this interface.
  Callback.UncaughtExceptionHandler
  CallbackParameterContext
  Provide argument conversion context for a callback invocation.
  CallbackProxy
  Placeholder proxy interface to allow an InvocationHandler to convert arguments/return values on callback methods.
  CallbackReference
  Provides a reference to an association between a native callback closure and a Java `Callback` closure.
  CallbackReference.AttachOptions
  CallbackResultContext
  Conversion context from a Java `Callback` result to a native value.
  CallbackThreadInitializer
  DefaultTypeMapper
  Provide custom mappings to and from native types.
  ELFAnalyser
  Analyse an ELF file for platform specific attributes.
  ELFAnalyser.ArmAeabiAttributesTag
  ELFAnalyser.ArmAeabiAttributesTag.ParameterType
  ELFAnalyser.ELFSectionHeaderEntry
  ELFAnalyser.ELFSectionHeaders
  FromNativeContext
  Provides context for converting a native value into a Java type.
  FromNativeConverter
  Define conversion from a native type to the appropriate Java type.
  Function
  An abstraction for a native function pointer.
  Function.PostCallRead
  Any argument which implements this interface will have the `Function.PostCallRead.read()` method called immediately after function invocation.
  FunctionMapper
  Provides mapping of Java method names to native function names.
  FunctionParameterContext
  FunctionResultContext
  Provide result conversion context for a function call.
  IntegerType
  Represents a native integer value, which may have a platform-specific size (e.g.
  InvocationMapper
  Provide a method for overriding how a given function is invoked.
  JNIEnv
  Marker type for the JNIEnv pointer.
  Klass
  LastErrorException
  Exception representing a non-zero error code returned in either `errno` or `GetLastError()`.
  Library
  Derive from this interface for all native library definitions.
  Library.Handler
  Memory
  A `Pointer` to memory obtained from the native heap via a call to `malloc`.
  MethodParameterContext
  MethodResultContext
  Provide result conversion context for a function call that is called via a Library interface.
  Native
  Provides generation of invocation plumbing for a defined native library interface.
  Native.ffi_callback
  NativeLibrary
  Provides management of native library resources.
  NativeLong
  Represents the `long` C data type, which may be 32 or 64 bits on *nix-based systems.
  NativeMapped
  Provide conversion for a Java type to and from a native type.
  NativeMappedConverter
  Provides type conversion for instances of `NativeMapped`.
  NativeString
  Provides a temporary allocation of an immutable C string (`const char*` or `const wchar_t*`) for use when converting a Java String into a native memory function argument.
  Platform
  Provide simplified platform information.
  Pointer
  An abstraction for a native pointer data type.
  PointerType
  Type representing a type-safe native pointer.
  StringArray
  Handle native array of `char*` or `wchar_t*` type by managing allocation/disposal of native strings within an array of pointers.
  Structure
  Represents a native structure with a Java peer class.
  Structure.ByReference
  Tagging interface to indicate the address of an instance of the Structure type is to be used within a `Structure` definition rather than nesting the full Structure contents.
  Structure.ByValue
  Tagging interface to indicate the value of an instance of the `Structure` type is to be used in function invocations rather than its address.
  Structure.FFIType
  This class auto-generates an ffi_type structure appropriate for a given structure for use by libffi.
  Structure.FFIType.size_t
  Structure.FieldOrder
  Used to declare fields order as metadata instead of method.
  Structure.StructField
  Structure.StructureSet
  Avoid using a hash-based implementation since the hash code for a Structure is not immutable.

  Provide Java to native type conversion context for a `Structure` field write.
  SymbolProvider
