- `[in] env`: The environment that the API is invoked under.
- `[in] utf8name`: A string representing the name of the function encoded as
UTF8.
- `[in] length`: The length of the `utf8name` in bytes, or
`NAPI_AUTO_LENGTH` if it is null-terminated.
- `[in] cb`: A function pointer to the native function to be invoked when the
created function is invoked from JavaScript.
- `[in] data`: Optional arbitrary context data to be passed into the native
function when it is invoked.
- `[out] result`: A `napi_value` representing a JavaScript function.
Returns `napi_ok` if the API succeeded.
This API returns an N-API value corresponding to a JavaScript `Function` object.
It's used to wrap native functions so that they can be invoked from JavaScript.
JavaScript `Function`s are described in
[Section 19.2](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-function-objects)
of the ECMAScript Language Specification.
