An abstraction for a native function pointer. An instance of Function represents a pointer to some native function. invoke(Class,Object[],Map) is the primary means to call the function.

Function call behavior may be modified by passing one of the following call flags:

Constructor Detail

Function

Function(NativeLibrary library,
         String functionName,
         int callFlags)
Create a new Function that is linked with a native function that follows the given calling convention.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the named native function from the supplied library, called with the given calling convention.

Parameters:
library - NativeLibrary in which to find the function
functionName - Name of the native function to be linked with
callFlags - Function call flags
Throws:
{@link - UnsatisfiedLinkError} if the given function name is not found within the library.

Function

Function(Pointer functionAddress,
         int callFlags)
Create a new Function that is linked with a native function that follows the given calling convention.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the given function address, called with the given calling convention.

Parameters:
functionAddress - Address of the native function
callFlags - Function call flags
Method Detail

getFunction

public static Function getFunction(String libraryName,
                                   String functionName)
Obtain a Function representing a native function that follows the standard "C" calling convention.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the named native function from the named library, called with the standard "C" calling convention.

Parameters:
libraryName - Library in which to find the native function
functionName - Name of the native function to be linked with
Throws:
{@link - UnsatisfiedLinkError} if the library is not found or the given function name is not found within the library.

getFunction

public static Function getFunction(String libraryName,
                                   String functionName,
                                   int callFlags)
Obtain a Function representing a native function.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the named native function from the named library.

Parameters:
libraryName - Library in which to find the function
functionName - Name of the native function to be linked with
callFlags - Function call flags
Throws:
{@link - UnsatisfiedLinkError} if the library is not found or the given function name is not found within the library.

getFunction

public static Function getFunction(Pointer p)
Obtain a Function representing a native function pointer. In general, this function should be used by dynamic languages; Java code should allow JNA to bind to a specific Callback interface instead by defining a return type or Structure field type.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the native function pointer.

Parameters:
p - Native function pointer

public static Function getFunction(Pointer p,
                                   int callFlags)
Obtain a Function representing a native function pointer. In general, this function should be used by dynamic languages; Java code should allow JNA to bind to a specific Callback interface instead by defining a return type or Structure field type.

The allocated instance represents a pointer to the native function pointer.

Parameters:
p - Native function pointer
callFlags - Function call flags
