calling C functions in javascript

I'm using javascript to run a server. I want to call c function on the server side. How can I call it? I googled, most of the time there is info on how to use AJAX and .net to call the function. The c function is alread build and saved in some location on the PC. I wanted to call this C function from the javascript on the server side

Anyone has any info regardin this? many many thanks. Regards Vish

Solution

  • You could spawn a child process using the node child_process module.

    var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

var ls = spawn("ls", ["-l", "-a"], {stdio: "inherit"});

ls.on("exit", function(status) {
    console.log("Done");
});

    See: http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html
