+Description: load a native C++ addon - Node.js module
Throughout the course of Node.js's native addon history, addons have ended up
being compiled in a variety of different places, depending on which build tool
- and which version of node was used. To make matters worse, now the gyp build
- tool can produce either a Release or Debug build, each being built into
- different locations.
+ and which version of Node.js was used. In addition, the gyp build tool can
+ produce either a Release or Debug build, each being built into different
+ locations.
.
This module checks all the possible locations that a native addon would be
built at, and returns the first one that loads successfully.
.
+ In Debian, addons are always built in the same place - in the Release
+ directory. This module allows upstream code to remain unchanged regardless of
+ the environment it is built in.

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
