-This will build two files: `<codec name>_<enc or dec>.js` and `<codec name>_<enc or dec>.wasm`. It will most likely be necessary to set [`Module["locateFile"]`](https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/api_reference/module.html#affecting-execution) to sucessfully load the `.wasm` file. When the `.js` file is loaded, a global `<codec name>_<enc or dec>` is created with the same API as an [Emscripten `Module`](https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/api_reference/module.html).

 Each codec will document its API in its README.
