API Documentation

This module exports one function, makeModuleEnv. It should be called with the absolute path to a file, and it will return an object with exports, module, require, __filename, and __dirname properties that behave like the ones node would provide to that file. Note that the file at the path passed in does not need to exist, only the directories leading up to that file. So you can use eg. path.resolve(__dirname, "fake-file.js").
