node-dlfcn
Native bindings to the dynamic shared library linker (dlfcn)
This module offers access to the dlfcn.h functions, including a proper
emulation for Windows operating systems.
A high-level object-oriented Library class is also exported.
Installation
Install with npm:
$ npm install dlfcn
Example
var dlfcn = require('dlfcn');
// dynamically open the `libc` library
var libc = dlfcn('libc');
// get a reference to the `printf` function pointer.
// from here, it's easy to invoke the function pointer via node-ffi.
var printfPointer = libc.get('printf');
