  Description     : Low-level library implementing the JNR Java foreign function interface

Java Native Runtime (JNR) is a collection of Java libraries to make 
interfacing with OS-level features easier.  JNR uses an alternate
method to JNI or JNA to achieve programming simplicity while still
retaining performance.

The jnr-jffi package implements the lowest level of the JNR Java foreign 
function interface.  This package is used by the other JNR packages to
call functions in OS-level native libraries.
