APIs

inject(cb) / inject(filepath)

Inject script when using child_process.fork.

The inject script is a function that running in sandbox in every process. that mean you can't use the variable out of the function.

The function should return an array that contains 3 arguments same as fork.

childprocess.inject(function(modulePath, args, opt) {
  return [modulePath, args, opt];
});

reset()

Use child_process.fork without injected script.
