# hijack(id)

Attaches to the process with the specified id.

var hijack = require('hijack-process');

var thisProcess = hijack(process.pid);
// => { handle: 1234 }

# process.read(address, size)

Read size bytes from the specified address.

var hijack = require('hijack-process');

var thisProcess = hijack(process.pid);

var bytes = thisProcess.read(0xDEADBEEF, 8);
// => [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]

# process.write(address, bytes)

Write an array of bytes to the specific address.

var hijack = require('hijack-process');

var thisProcess = hijack(process.pid);

var ascending = thisProcess.read(0xDEADBEEF, 8);
// => [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]

thisProcess.write(0xDEADBEEF, [ 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 ]);

var descending = thisProcess.read(0xDEADBEEF, 8);
// => [ 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 ]
