What is c2hs-doc
c2hs-doc is:
C->Haskell is an interface generator that simplifies the development
of Haskell bindings to C libraries. The tool processes existing C
header files that determine data layout and function signatures on
the C side in conjunction with Haskell modules that specify
Haskell-side type signatures and marshaling details. Hooks embedded
in the Haskell code signal access to C structures and functions –
they are expanded by the interfacing tool in dependence on
information from the corresponding C header file.
Haskell 98 is “the†standard lazy functional programming language.
More info plus the language definition is at http://www.haskell.org/.
