{{WIP}}
Added FOSS, removed WIP
A '''wrapper''' is a common name for a technology used to transparently replace calls made to one graphics API with calls made to another. This can be used to run software on systems they were not designed for, such as running old PC games made for 3Dfx Glide graphics card on modern Windows 10 systems, or running modern Windows-only DirectX 11 games on Linux. A wrapper often takes the form of a shared library that replaces the original, though it can also be a standalone interceptor. Wrappers aren't needed for OpenGL since its APIs don't require much translation. Despite this, [https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2018/10/31/introducing-zink-opengl-implementation-vulkan/ a wrapper was created for it anyway].
