HI. [other than some hooks for custom search extensions], MarkLogic does not have a way to directly run code external to itself. You always need to bridge to this other code as you have seen in the MLJAM example.
However.. Looking at your use case, consider the fact that MarkLogic can extract interesting metadata from over 100 different file formats.. DLL (Windoes Executable) is one of them (lister under 'other' https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/binary-document-metadata So, maybe your goal is reachable by using ML to do the extraction for you...
