The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
wrapper
<programming> Code which is combined with another piece of
{code} to determine how that code is executed. The wrapper
acts as an interface between its caller and the wrapped code.
This may be done for compatibility, e.g. if the wrapped code
is in a different programming language or uses different
calling conventions, or for security, e.g. to prevent the
calling program from executing certain functions. The
implication is that the wrapped code can only be accessed via
the wrapper.
