* Package name    : golang-github-ebitengine-purego
  Version         : 0.9.0-1
  Upstream Author : The Ebitengine Authors
* URL             : https://github.com/ebitengine/purego
* License         : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : Library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo

 The purego project allows easy cross-compilation of Go binaries from
 any operating system.
 .
 Benefits:
 .
  * **Simple Cross-Compilation**: No C means you can build for other
    platforms easily without a C compiler.
  * **Faster Compilation**: Efficiently cache your entirely Go builds.
  * **Smaller Binaries**: Using Cgo generates a C wrapper function for
    each C function called. Purego doesn't!
  * **Dynamic Linking**: Load symbols at runtime and use it as a plugin
    system.
  * **Foreign Function Interface**: Call into other languages that are
    compiled into shared objects.
  * **Cgo Fallback**: Works even with CGO_ENABLED=1 so incremental
    porting is possible. This also means unsupported GOARCHs
    (freebsd/riscv64, linux/mips, etc.) will still work except for
    float rguments and return values.

  This library is required to build the macos version of the incus-
agent binary, and will be team-maintained within the Go Packaging Team.
