FFI Interface
========================================

.. versionadded:: 1.11.14

Botan's ffi module provides a C89 API intended to be easily usable with other
language's foreign function interface (FFI) libraries. For instance the included
Python module uses the ``ctypes`` module for all library access. This API is of
course also useful for programs written directly in C.

Code examples can be found in `src/tests/test_ffi.cpp`.

Versioning
----------------------------------------

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t botan_ffi_api_version()

   Returns the version of the currently supported FFI API.  This is
   expressed in the form YYYYMMDD of the release date of this version
   of the API.

.. cpp:function:: int botan_ffi_supports_api(uint32_t version)

   Returns 0 iff the FFI version specified is supported by this
   library. Otherwise returns -1. The expression
   botan_ffi_supports_api(botan_ffi_api_version()) will always
   evaluate to 0. A particular version of the library may also support
   other (older) versions of the FFI API.

.. cpp:function:: const char* botan_version_string()

   Returns a free-from version string, e.g., 2.0.0

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t botan_version_major()

   Returns the major version of the library

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t botan_version_minor()

   Returns the minor version of the library

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t botan_version_patch()

   Returns the patch version of the library

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t botan_version_datestamp()

   Returns the date this version was released as an integer, or 0
   if an unreleased version

   If *flags* contains ``BOTAN_FFI_HEX_LOWER_CASE``, hex encoding
   will only contain lower-case letters, upper-case letters otherwise.
