You need one function from a C library — <code>getpid</code>, a hardware SDK, a codec, a GPU driver — and the official answer is JNI: write a C header, write a C implementation, compile it per platform, ship a <code>.so</code>/<code>.dll</code>/<code>.dylib</code> for every OS and architecture, then debug segmentation faults in a language your team does not write.</p>
