+## Building Node.js with external core modules
+
+It is possible to specify one or more JavaScript text files to be bundled in
+the binary as builtin modules when building Node.js.
+
+### Unix / macOS
+
+This command will make `/root/myModule.js` available via
+`require('/root/myModule')` and `./myModule2.js` available via
+`require('myModule2')`.
+
+```console
+$ ./configure --link-module '/root/myModule.js' --link-module './myModule2.js'
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+To make `./myCustomModule.js` available via `require('myCustomModule')`.
+
+```console
+> .\vcbuild link-module './myCustomModule.js'
+```
