# `bindgen`

**`bindgen` automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C and C++ libraries.**

For example, given the C header `doggo.h`:

```c
typedef struct Doggo {
    int many;
    char wow;
} Doggo;

void eleven_out_of_ten_majestic_af(Doggo* pupper);
```

`bindgen` produces Rust FFI code allowing you to call into the `doggo` library's
functions and use its types:

```rust
/* automatically generated by rust-bindgen */

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Doggo {
    pub many: ::std::os::raw::c_int,
    pub wow: ::std::os::raw::c_char,
}

extern "C" {
    pub fn eleven_out_of_ten_majestic_af(pupper: *mut Doggo);
}
```
