<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
> Sometimes, your Rust code may need to interact with code written in another language.
> To do this, Rust has a keyword, `extern`, that facilitates creating and using a _Foreign Function Interface_ (FFI).
```rust
extern "C" {
fn abs(input: i32) -> i32;
}
fn main() {
unsafe {
println!("Absolute value of -3 according to C: {}", abs(-3));
}
}
```
