  • requestNativeScripts

    Execute arbitrary native code. Bring your own specification.

  • Technically you can use a variety of means to execute arbitrary shell scripts. One approach is to use inotifywait to check for file changes, which can be written to local filesystem using File API and where implemented File System Access API, for an overview of this particular approach see https://github.com/guest271314/requestNativeScripts/blob/master/Explainer.md, for implementation see https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio#usage, where I use the process to execute PulseAudio's parec to capture system audio and stream the raw PCM to the browser in real-time by opening and closing local files.
