    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/strided/napi/nullary.h"
```

#### stdlib_strided_napi_nullary( env, info, \*obj )

Invokes a strided array interface which applies a nullary callback based on provided JavaScript arguments.

```c
#include "stdlib/strided/base/function_object.h"
#include <node_api.h>

// ...

static const struct StridedFunctionObject obj = {...};

// ...

/**
* Receives JavaScript callback invocation data.
*
* @param env    environment under which the function is invoked
* @param info   callback data
* @return       Node-API value
*/
napi_value addon( napi_env env, napi_callback_info info ) {
    stdlib_strided_napi_nullary( env, info, &obj );
    return NULL;
}

// ...
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **env**: `[in] napi_env` environment under which the function is invoked.
-   **info**: `[in] napi_callback_info` callback data.
-   **obj**: `[in] struct StridedFunctionObject*` strided array [function object][@stdlib/strided/base/function-object].

```c
void stdlib_strided_napi_nullary( napi_env env, napi_callback_info info, const struct StridedFunctionObject *obj );
```

#### STDLIB_STRIDED_NAPI_MODULE_NULLARY( obj )

Macro for registering a Node-API module exporting a strided array interface for applying a nullary callback.

```c
#include "stdlib/strided/base/function_object.h"

// ...

// Create a strided function object:
static const struct StridedFunctionObject obj = {...};

// ...

// Register a Node-API module:
STDLIB_STRIDED_NAPI_MODULE_NULLARY( obj );
```

The macro expects the following arguments:

-   **obj**: `struct StridedFunctionObject` strided array [function object][@stdlib/strided/base/function-object].

When used, this macro should be used **instead of** `NAPI_MODULE`. The macro includes `NAPI_MODULE`, thus ensuring Node-API module registration.

<section class="notes">

### Notes

-   The function expects that the callback `info` argument provides access to the following JavaScript arguments:

    -   **N**: number of indexed elements.
    -   **dtypeX**: `X` [data type][@stdlib/strided/dtypes] (enumeration constant).
    -   **X**: destination [typed array][mdn-typed-array].
    -   **strideX**: `X` stride length.
