Hi,
I'm just trying to work out how to do it. Please find my latest attempt below.
The docs aren't much help with this.
FFITutorial>>getHostName
| nameBuffer |
nameBuffer := ByteArray new: 256.
self ffiCall: #( int gethostname(ByteArray *nameBuffer, int 256) ) library:
'libc.so.6'.
^nameBuffer asString
Thanks,
Gerry

Hello All,
Pharo newbie here. I'm playing around with uFFI and I'm having trouble figuring
out how to provide a buffer to C. It looks like maybe ByteArray would be the
type, but it's not working. Would some one be so kind as to show me an example
with the C function gethostname?
Thanks,
Gerry
