595 NAME may be either a string, a symbol, or a list of the form (string symbol).
597 RETURN-TYPE is the alien type for the function return value. VOID may be
598 used to specify a function with no result.
600 The remaining forms specify individual arguments that are passed to the
601 routine. ARG-NAME is a symbol that names the argument, primarily for
602 documentation. ARG-TYPE is the C type of the argument. STYLE specifies the
603 way that the argument is passed.
606 An :IN argument is simply passed by value. The value to be passed is
607 obtained from argument(s) to the interface function. No values are
608 returned for :In arguments. This is the default mode.
611 The specified argument type must be a pointer to a fixed sized object.
612 A pointer to a preallocated object is passed to the routine, and the
613 the object is accessed on return, with the value being returned from
614 the interface function. :OUT and :IN-OUT cannot be used with pointers
615 to arrays, records or functions.

619 on the stack, and a pointer to the object is passed instead of
623 This is a combination of :OUT and :COPY. A pointer to the argument is
