# foreground-child

|
|
|
|
Run a child as if it's the foreground process. Give it stdio. Exit
|
|
when it exits.
|
|
|
|
Mostly this module is here to support some use cases around wrapping
|
|
child processes for test coverage and such.
|
|
|
|
## USAGE
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var foreground = require('foreground-child')
|
|
|
|
// cats out this file
|
|
var child = foreground('cat', [__filename])
|
|
|
|
// At this point, it's best to just do nothing else.
|
|
// return or whatever.
|
|
// If the child gets a signal, or just exits, then this
|
|
// parent process will exit in the same way.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A callback can optionally be provided, if you want to perform an action
|
|
before your foreground-child exits:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var child = foreground('cat', [__filename], function (done) {
|
|
// perform an action.
|
|
return done()
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
The "normal" standard IO file descriptors (0, 1, and 2 for stdin,
|
|
stdout, and stderr respectively) are shared with the child process.
|
|
Additionally, if there is an IPC channel set up in the parent, then
|
|
messages are proxied to the child on file descriptor 3.
|
|
|
|
However, in Node, it's possible to also map arbitrary file descriptors
|
|
into a child process. In these cases, foreground-child will not map
|
|
the file descriptors into the child. If file descriptors 0, 1, or 2
|
|
are used for the IPC channel, then strange behavior may happen (like
|
|
printing IPC messages to stderr, for example).
|
|
|
|
Note that a SIGKILL will always kill the parent process, _and never
|
|
the child process_, because SIGKILL cannot be caught or proxied. The
|
|
only way to do this would be if Node provided a way to truly exec a
|
|
process as the new foreground program in the same process space,
|
|
without forking a separate child process.
