If you type "libffi" in google, the first answer is the project home site. 
There is no documentation about libffi, you must look into a sparse README 
file and into the source code.

But the problem is not libffi, but Gambas there! I don't know yet how to make 
support for structures and callbacks, but I will think about it. It will need 
a lot of work.
