// extern "C" tells the C++ compiler to use C linkage for the specified function(s),
// meaning the names will not be mangled and will be treated like regular C functions.
// This is important in scenarios where you need to interact with C libraries,
// dynamically load functions by their unmangled name,
// or expose functions from C++ libraries to C or C-compatible systems.
