libjs

System programming library; libjs — libc in JavaScript.

Usage

npm install libjs libsys

This library uses libsys to execute system calls from JavaScript. It expects your environment has libsys global object, in Node.js you can shim libsys as follows:

require('libsys/shim');

Examples

• Write to console
• Read from a file
• Run stat() on a file
• TCP echo server
