It's a more general wrapper. A "wrapper" is a function or procedure that
hides a bunch of messy details behind a nice interface, or a simple function
call. In the case of Jacques' code, he defines the prototypes, links to the
DLLs, and builds data structures that the functions need. And all you need
to do is a high level call to the "wrapper", and not concern yourself with
the messy details.
