### DllImport & Extern
### External Code
The `extern` modifier is used to declare a method that is implemented externally.
A common use of the extern modifier is with the `DllImport` attribute when using Interop services to call into _unmanaged_ code.

[DllImport("avifil32.dll")]
private static extern void AVIFileInit();
```
The `LibraryImport` attribute can be used to import external code and have the source generator handle the marshalling for the annotated function.
> **Note**: The source generator will still use the `DllImport` attribute in the generated code.
```cs
// before
public static class Native
{
[DllImport(nameof(Native), CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public extern static string ToLower(string str);
}
// after
public static class Native
{
[LibraryImport(nameof(Native), StringMarshalling = StringMarshalling.Utf16)]
public static partial string ToLower(string str);
}
```
