 #### *napi_callback*
 Function pointer type for user-provided native functions which are to be
 exposed to JavaScript via N-API. Callback functions should satisfy the
 following signature:
 ```C
-typedef void (*napi_callback)(napi_env, napi_callback_info);
+typedef napi_value (*napi_callback)(napi_env, napi_callback_info);
