webabi

This is a TypeScript library for executing WebAssembly programs using an approximation of the Linux syscall ABI. Supported features include file IO via BrowserFS, device drivers for custom IO, and memory management syscalls like brk. This library is useful if your WebAssembly module was built with a libc, like musl, that expects the sycall ABI. With webabi, your WebAssembly build system can be a standard C toolchain, maximizing the ease of porting existing C software.

Building

npm install
npm run build

Using

The build process will convert the TypeScript code to a usable JS library in ./dist, and two useful scripts in ./build.

• The node_runner.js script, when run with Node, will take the path to a wasm file on the command line and run it.
• The worker_runner.js file is meant to be started in a WebWorker. Once started, it waits for a postMessage to give it the URI of a wasm program to fetch and execute.

In both cases, if you want a custom device driver, you will need to use the library code instead. TypeScript types are exported so you can continue using TypeScript.
