*language-prefixes*

Variable

Package: system

This variable and *language-suffixes* are used in foreign-function name conversion. The value of each is a (possibly empty) alist of a language and a string to prepend (*language-prefixes*) or postpend (*language-suffixes*) to the basic name in order to produce the equivalent name in the language. Some earlier operating systems had linkers which prepended an underscore ("_") to C names (language :c) and some linkers still postpend an underscore to Fortran (language :fortran) names.

See foreign-functions.htm for more information on the foreign functions facility.

The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
