The relationship between the different layers can be seen in the following diagram (where it is
assumed that the client application is programmed in C++).

As the figure shows, the two high level programming methods (C/C++) are merely successive
layers around a dynamically linked library, which includes all the functionalities of the system.
We must take into account that even though there are different layers in the system, they do
not add any noticeable overhead to the system's operation (even in machines with a low
performance). So programming on top of the C or C++ libraries is equally efficient.
