Usage

import { args, execPath, cwd, chdir, stdout, stdin } from "@bearz/process";

console.log(args); // the args passed to current process.
console.log(execPath()); // path to executable for the current process.
console.log(cwd()); // the current working directory.

chdir(".."); // changes the current working directory.

console.log(cwd()); // updated current working directory.

stdout.writeSync(new TextEncoder().encode("hello world\n"));

// read stdin
const buffer = new Uint8Array(1024);
const bytesRead = stdin.readSync(buffer);

if (bytesRead && bytesRead.length > 0) {
    // write it back out
    stdout.writeSync(buffer.subarray(0, bytesRead))
}

Constants

Runtime

• args - Array of arguments passed to the current process.
• pid - The id of the current process.
• stdin - The standard input stream which is a stream reader that uses Uint8Array.
• stdout - The standard output stream which is a stream writer that uses Uint8Array.
• stderr - The standard error stream which is a stream writer that uses Uint8Array.

Functions

• cwd - Gets the current working directory.
• chdir - Changes the current working directory.
• execPath - Gets the path of the executable that spawned the current process.
• exit - Exits the current process with the exit code provided. If the exit code is not set, its zero.
• popd - Pops the last directory and returns it while changing the current directory to the last one from history.
• pushd - Pushs a path to chdir and records the path in history.
