I want to know what libraries can be used to call C/C++libraries
Rust has excellent interoperability with C/C++ libraries through its Foreign Function Interface (FFI). You can use the following methods:
Raw FFI Directly use extern "C" blocks and #[link(name = "...")] attributes to link and call C functions from Rust.
C Bindings Create Rust bindings for the C/C++ library using tools like bindgen to generate Rust code that wraps the C API.
Rust Wrappers Write idiomatic Rust wrappers around C/C++ libraries to provide a safer and more Rust-like interface.
Crate Bindings Use existing Rust crates that provide bindings to specific C/C++ libraries, like libc for standard C libraries or community-maintained crates for other libraries.
Thank you for your answer! I will try to understand it

Calling a library that is already linked into the program is relatively easy via extern "C".
However, for finding and configuring C or C++ libraries to be included in the program, Rust has a concept of "sys" crates:

Thank you! I'll go back and learn about 'sys'
