From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  wrapper
       
           Code which is combined with another piece of
          {code} to determine how that code is executed.  The wrapper
          acts as an interface between its caller and the wrapped code.
          This may be done for compatibility, e.g. if the wrapped code
          is in a different programming language or uses different
          calling conventions, or for security, e.g. to prevent the
          calling program from executing certain functions.  The
          implication is that the wrapped code can only be accessed via
          the wrapper.
