node-dlopen

Native bindings to libuv's uv_dlopen() and friends

This module offers access to libuv's dlopen(), dlclose(), dlsym() and dlerror() functions.

A high-level object-oriented Library class is also exported.

Installation

Install with npm:

1$ npm install dlopen

Example

1var dlopen = require('dlopen');
2
3// dynamically open the `libc` library
4var libc = dlopen('libc');
5
6// get a reference to the `printf` function pointer.
7// from here, it's easy to invoke the function pointer via node-ffi.
8var printfPointer = libc.get('printf');
