Extra-cp NPM | npm.io

Useful additions to inbuilt child_process module. 📦 Node.js, 📜 Files, 📰 Docs, 🔎 Survey.

Stability: Experimental.

const cp = require('extra-child-process');
// cp.exec(command, options)
// cp.execFile(file, args, options)

async function main() {
  // With Promise:
  var {stdout, stderr} = await cp.exec('ls -a', {cwd: '/home'});
  var {stdout, stderr} = await cp.execFile('ls', ['-a'], {cwd: '/home'});

  // Without Promise:
  cp.exec('ls -a', {cwd: '/home'}, (err, stdout, stderr) => 0);
  cp.execFile('ls', ['-a'], {cwd: '/home'}, (err, stdout, stderr) => 0);
}
main();
