12
13 A \emph{dynport} is mapped in R as a dynamically created R namespace
14 containing wrapper functions, constants and type information objects
15 (used in conjunction with utility functions from the package) to gain
16 control over a large range of functionality offered by system service
17 and binary components.
18 These bindings can be written by hand but - as these are
19 very structured using formal signatures - this process
20 is also automated.
21 Here is a list of dynports for the initial release:
