Package com.jniwrapper Description

The com.jniwrapper package contains classes that allow calling native functions from Java(TM) code.

Calling native functions is quite simple if you follow these steps:

Prepare library search path. DefaultLibraryLoader contains all your PATH entries and gives you ability to add your own:
```
    DefaultLibraryLoader.getInstance().addPath(new File("path/to/my/code"));
```
As the name suggests this class is used by default to load native libraries.

Prepare call parameters. You have to create variables for each argument and for the return value.

    LongInt retVal = new LongInt(0);
    WideString str = new WideString(256);
    UInt32 len = new UInt32(256);

Load native library and invoke a function:

    Library kernel = new Library("kernel32");
    kernel.getFunction("GetCurrentDirectoryW", null).invoke(retVal, len, new Pointer.OutOnly(str));

Process the result:

    System.out.println("Current working directory is: " + str.getValue());
