{{fbdoc item="title" value="Translating C headers"}}

A FreeBASIC header should expose the C library interface accurately while still
looking like normal FreeBASIC source. Start from the C declarations, translate
types and calling conventions carefully, then keep platform-specific differences
visible instead of hiding them behind guesses.

{{fbdoc item="subsect" value="Basic process"}}

	1) Identify the library version and platform ABI being translated.
	2) Translate constants, enums, structs, unions, callbacks, and functions.
	3) Use the C type comparison table for integer, pointer, string, and size
	   types.
	4) Keep conditional declarations close to the platform condition that requires
	   them.
	5) Compile small examples against the header on the target platform.
