libchat/conversations/src/api.rs

// This is the FFI Interface to enable libchat to be used from other languages such as Nim and C.
// This interface makes heavy use of safer_ffi in order to safely move bytes across the FFI.
//
// The following table explains the safer_ffi types in use, and under what circumstances.
//
// - c_slice::Ref<'_, u8>  : Borrowed, read-only byte slice for input parameters
// - c_slice::Mut<'_, u8>  : Borrowed, mutable byte slice for in/out parameters
// - repr_c::Vec<u8>       : Owned vector, used for return values (transfers ownership to caller)
// - repr_c::String        : Owned string, used for return values (transfers ownership to caller)
