> I'm looking to put some Racket wrappers around bits of the OpenCV C api, but

> (define function-name (get-ffi-obj function-name (ffi-lib lib-name)
> format)...)
> I'm not clear, however, on what the particular object files I'm looking up
> with ffi-lib. I also am unclear about the convention for the function-name
> parameter to get-ffi-obj. Is it as simple as a string of the the name that
> the C api is exposing?
> I hope I've revealed my ignorance appropriately-- if you noticed any other
> misconceptions or egregious gaps, please do let me know!
