A wrapper function is a function (another word for a subroutine) in a software library or a computer program whose main purpose is to call a second subroutine[1] or a system call with little or no additional computation. Wrapper functions are used to make writing computer programs easier by abstracting away the details of a subroutine's underlying implementation.
