I mentioned C libraries in an earlier post. But the OP did not
say whether the library is a C library or a D one. If it's a D

Declaring C functions locally where you need them is fine if you
only need a handful of sybmols. But when you need multiple
functions and types from the API, that's going to get unwieldy.
