External library functions can be registered with the Netscape Enterprise Server and can then be called from scripts running in the request-response loop.
Such registered functions are invoked with the callC() method.
The registration process creates a mapping between the JavaScript environment and the C language environment. This suggests that the two need not be named the same although it is good practice to preserve the names recognizably across such wrapping mechanisms.
The C function is encapsulated in a JavaScript object wrapper.
A Boolean true value is returned if the registration succeeds and a Boolean false if it fails.
