<para> There are a thin binding and two thick bindings provided. The thin binding presents the application programming interface (API) in a form very similar to the C API, although in 100% Ada. The thick bindings present the API in a form to which Ada programmers will be more accustomed and add some ease-of-use features. It is expected that the thick bindings will be preferred.</para>
