It’s time to take a look at a Windows-oriented Node module to see how it works. Before getting messy with C, C++, and all that native module stuff, let’s keep it simple by looking at something that communicates with Windows programs using Node’s streams.

This is a program that intercepts all Direct3D 9 (D3D9) commands issued by a running application. These commands are then dispatched to a separate program that interprets and responds to them. The commands can be forwarded to the operating system, discarded, or modified as desired.

Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, and more.
