How to correctrly create and read the pointer to array of structures in node-ffi
Node-ffi has lack of documentation
I am trying to use this function https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/ras/nf-ras-rasenumconnectionsw
const ffi = require( 'ffi-napi' );
const ref = require( 'ref' );
var myobj = ref.types.void;
var myobjPtr = ref.refType( myobj );
var myobjPtrPtr = ref.refType( myobjPtr );
var long1 = ref.refType( 'long' );
var long2 = ref.refType( 'long' );
var firstVar = ref.alloc( myobjPtrPtr );
var longVar1 = ref.alloc( 'long' );
var longVar2 = ref.alloc( 'long' );
let ras = new ffi.Library( 'Rasapi32.dll', {
'RasEnumConnectionsW': [
'long', // Return value - DWORD
[ // Arguments
// Pointer to a buffer that receives, on output, an array of RASCONN structures,
// one for each RAS connection.
myobjPtrPtr, // LPRASCONNW
// Pointer to a variable that, on input, contains the size, in bytes, of the buffer
// specified by lprasconn.
long1, // LPDWORD
// Pointer to a variable that receives the number of RASCONN structures written to
// the buffer specified by lprasconn.
long2 // LPDWORD
]
]
});
ras.RasEnumConnectionsW( firstVar, longVar1, longVar2 );
console.log( ref.deref( firstVar ) );
Right now node-ffi
gives be UintArray8. Not array of strings, not array of objects
node.js winapi node-ffi

You're meant to provide a buffer (of a size that you choose and specify) for the information to be returned in. It looks like you're just passing an uninitialised pointer.
