- options.cwd passed through convertToOSPath
- launch processes on Windows using child_process.exec
- parse args for windows into space-delimited string
If specified, instead of capturing the output, the child process stdout
will be piped to the destination stream.
Although the standard spawn stdio option lets you pass in streams,
these have to be connected to an open file descriptor. The destination
option allows you to use any Writable, so it can be used with a
Transform for instance.
The execFileSync function is meant to resemble the similarly-named Node
0.12 synchronous process creation API, but instead of being fully
blocking it uses a promise-based implementation. You can also use
execFileAsync directly, which returns a promise.
Some functionality is currently missing but could be added when the
need arises (e.g. support for timeout, maxBuffer, and encoding options).
Eventually, these versions should replace the ones in
tools/utils/utils.js and tools/tool-testing/selftest.js.
