Functions

Functions are one of the most important concepts in WAI. They are what guests and hosts use to expose functionality to each other, and have a name, parameters, and results.

Here are some examples:

thunk: func()
fibonacci: func(n: u32) -> u32
sleep: async func(ms: u64)

Most guests will map functions to top-level functions, while most hosts will expose functions as some sort of callable object which eventually calls into the relevant part of the WebAssembly virtual machine.

For a more details, consult the Item: func section (opens in a new tab) in the *.wai format.
