Installation

npm install spawnback

Usage

var spawn = require( "spawnback" );
spawn( "git", [ "status" ], function( error, stdout ) {
	console.log( stdout );
});

API

spawnback follows the same API as node's built-in child_process.spawn(), but accepts a callback as the final parameter. The callback receives three paramaters: an error object, stdout as a string, and stderr as a string.

spawnback( command, [args], [options], callback )

• command String: The command to run.
• args Array: List of string arguments.
• options Object: See the node API docs for full details on which options are supported.
• callback function( error, stdout, stderr ): A callback to invoke when the child process has ended and all stdio streams have terminated.
• return: ChildProcess instance.
