README

日本語版

pnl makes it easy to use C libraries from PHP. It installs library "packages", finds the C library and headers already on your machine, generates PHP wrappers plus a small Rust bridge, compiles the bridge, and exposes everything through the Pnlx PHP SDK — think Composer, but for C libraries.

pnl init
pnl find 'lib*'      # browse available packages (default repo + your own)
pnl install libc
pnl list 'lib*'      # show what you have installed

See the Quick Start to call C printf from PHP in a minute.
