you can use FFI to call C code.

[snowe]

but C is not the same as unix utils

[Smallville7123]

as i was thinking o could compile the directory into object files>shared object then use C to load the object and load each file as required from the shared object (which is the basis for my self extracting linux binary executable)

[karelpeeters]

How do you keep coming up with these weird requirements?

[snowe]

yeah what he said.

[Smallville7123]

cus im weird

[Ruckus]

@Smallville7123 Good answer 🙂
But I think the point of the question was what kind of project are you working on that has such obscure requirements (if you feel comfortable sharing)

[Smallville7123]

in which this is an example of such a self extracting binary https://kotlinlang.slack.com/files/UH83T3WAE/FJ1GF44JH/-.c

-.c

Have you looked into the #C0BT46EL8 support, or does that not fit your use case?

[Smallville7123]

as in kotlin-dsl?

[Ruckus]

...no?

[snowe]

@Smallville7123 did you say you were reading the reference before reading the actual api docs? how is that too long.

[Smallville7123]

so which section should i be looking at

[Smallville7123]

cus its basically like a mini book
