This variable and *language-prefixes* 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.
