# The Racket Foreign Interface by Eli Barzilay
> The `ffi/unsafe` library enables the direct use of C-based APIs within Racket programs—without writing any new C code. From the Racket perspective, functions and data with a C-based API are foreign, hence the term foreign interface. Furthermore, since most APIs consist mostly of functions, the foreign interface is sometimes called a foreign function interface, abbreviated FFI.
