Apicall and cdecl

Hi,

I was wondering how do apicall and cdecl are parse.
I read the Parser>>#externalFunctionDeclaration and saw:

Smalltalk at: #ExternalLibraryFunction ifPresent:[:xfn|
                fn _ xfn name: externalName
                                module: module
                                callType: callType
                                returnType: retType
                                argumentTypes: args contents.
                self allocateLiteral: fn.
        ]

So do anyone can told me what it's for?

Thank in advence.

That's an FFI declaration for directly calling an external function  
in some C library. It's similar to a primitive call so it shares its  
syntax with angle brackets.
