MLton's foreign function interface (FFI) extends Standard ML and makes it easy to take the address of C global objects, access C global variables, call from SML to C, and call from C to SML.  MLton also provides <a href="MLNLFFI">ML-NLFFI</a>, which is a higher-level FFI for calling C functions and manipulating C data from SML. <h2 id="head-0efc2e6be4c23b9a513d7ce0dcff8ed80e8912e7">Overview</h2>
