-> The C libraries import is [Experimental](components-stability.md#stability-levels-explained).
-> All Kotlin declarations generated by the `cinterop` tool from C libraries
-> should have the `@ExperimentalForeignApi` annotation.
->
-> Native platform libraries shipped with Kotlin/Native (like Foundation, UIKit, and POSIX),
-> require opt-in only for some APIs. In such cases, you get an IDE warning.

-In this tutorial, you will learn what C data types are visible in Kotlin/Native and vice versa. You will: 
-- See what [Data types are in C language](#types-in-c-language).
-- Create a [tiny C Library](#example-c-library) that uses those types in exports.
-- [Inspect generated Kotlin APIs from a C library](#inspect-generated-kotlin-apis-for-a-c-library).
-- Find how [Primitive types in Kotlin](#primitive-types-in-kotlin) are mapped to C.

-## Types in C language
-
-What types are there in the C language? Let's take the
-[C data types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types) article from Wikipedia as a basis.
-There are following types in the C programming language:
-- basic types `char, int, float, double` with modifiers `signed, unsigned, short, long` 
-- structures, unions, arrays
-- pointers
-- function pointers
-
-There are also more specific types:
-- boolean type (from [C99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99))
-- `size_t` and `ptrdiff_t` (also `ssize_t`)
-- fixed width integer types, such as `int32_t` or `uint64_t` (from [C99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99))
-
-There are also the following type qualifiers in the C language: `const`, `volatile`, `restrict`, `atomic`.
-
-The best way to see what C data types are visible in Kotlin is to try it.

 ## Example C library
 
-Create a `lib.h` file to see how C functions are mapped into Kotlin:
+* see `lib.h`
+  * goal
+    * how C functions -- are mapped into -- Kotlin
 
-```c
-#ifndef LIB2_H_INCLUDED
-#define LIB2_H_INCLUDED
-
-void ints(char c, short d, int e, long f);
-void uints(unsigned char c, unsigned short d, unsigned int e, unsigned long f);
-void doubles(float a, double b);
-
-#endif

-The file is missing the `extern "C"` block, which is not needed for this example, but may be 
-necessary if you use C++ and overloaded functions. The 
-[C++ compatibility thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1041866/what-is-the-effect-of-extern-c-in-c) on Stackoverflow
-contains more details on this.
-
-For every set of `.h` files,
-you will be using the [`cinterop` tool](native-c-interop.md)
-from Kotlin/Native to generate a Kotlin/Native library,
-or `.klib`. The generated library will bridge calls from Kotlin/Native to C. It includes
-respective Kotlin declarations for the definitions form the `.h` files.
-It is only necessary to have a `.h` file to run the `cinterop` tool. And you do not need to create a 
-`lib.c` file, unless you want to compile and run the example.
-More details on this are covered in the [C interop](native-c-interop.md) page. It is enough for
-the tutorial to create the `lib.def` file with the following content:
+* [`cinterop` tool](native-c-interop.md)
+  * from `.h` -- you can generate a -- Kotlin/Native library (== `.klib` ) /
+    * calls from Kotlin/Native -- are bridged to -- C

+It is enough for the tutorial to create the `lib.def` file with the following content:
 
 ```c
 headers = lib.h
 ```
 
 You may include all declarations directly into the `.def` file after a `---` separator.
 It can be helpful to include macros or other C defines into the code generated by the `cinterop` tool.
-Method bodies are compiled and fully included into the binary too. Use
-that feature to have a runnable example without a need for a C compiler.
-To implement that, you need to add implementations to the C functions from the `lib.h` file,
-and place these functions into a `.def` file.
