NAME

       FFI::Platypus::Function - An FFI function object

VERSION

       version 2.00

SYNOPSIS

        use FFI::Platypus 2.00;

        # call directly
        my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 2 );
        my $f = $ffi->function(puts => ['string'] => 'int');
        $f->call("hello there");

        # attach as xsub and call (faster for repeated calls)
        $f->attach('puts');
        puts('hello there');

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents an unattached platypus function.  For more context and better
       examples see FFI::Platypus.

METHODS

   attach
        $f->attach($name);
        $f->attach($name, $prototype);

       Attaches the function as an xsub (similar to calling attach directly from an FFI::Platypus
       instance).  You may optionally include a prototype.

   call
        my $ret = $f->call(@arguments);
        my $ret = $f->(@arguments);

       Calls the function and returns the result. You can also use the function object like a
       code reference.

   sub_ref
        my $code = $f->sub_ref;

       Returns an anonymous code reference.  This will usually be faster than using the "call"
       method above.
