Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computing, a binding from a Programming language to a library or OS service is an API providing that service in the language. Many software libraries are written in systems programming languages such as C or C++. To use these libraries from another (usually higher-level) language such as Java, or Python, a binding to the library must be created in that language possibly requiring the recompilation of the language's code depending on the amount of modification necessary however most languages offer some sort of foreign functions interface like Python's ctypes and ecl's cffi, and uffi.
