node-dlopen
===========
### Native bindings to libuv's uv_dlopen() and friends
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/TooTallNate/node-dlopen.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/TooTallNate/node-dlopen)
[![Build Status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/cip42c512j4k3b12)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/TooTallNate/node-dlopen)

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`:

``` bash
$ npm install dlopen
```

Example
-------

``` js
var dlopen = require('dlopen');

// dynamically open the `libc` library
var libc = dlopen('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');
```
