# Erl_Interface Library Reference

Version 3.5.1

The `erl_interface` library is a `C` interface library for communication with `Erlang`.

| By default, the `erl_interface` library is only guaranteed to be compatible with other Erlang/OTP components from the same release as the `erl_interface` library. See the documentation of the erl_set_compat_rel() function on how to communicate with Erlang/OTP components from earlier releases.
