call

Commands ››
Parent Previous Next

The call command allows you to call a function in a DLL. It is somewhat similar to the exec command, but as it does not require spawning extra processes, it is potentially much faster. This command is currently Windows-only and is experimental - the interface may well change in the future. An example of a DLL implementing a function that the command can  call can be found in the project source code in the call-dll directory.
