A cross platform solution to node's spawn and spawnSync.
## Installation
`$ npm install cross-spawn`
If you are using `spawnSync` on node 0.10 or older, you will also need to install `spawn-sync`:
`$ npm install spawn-sync`
## Why
Node has issues when using spawn on Windows:
- It ignores [PATHEXT](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2318)
- It does not support [shebangs](http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang)
- It does not allow you to run `del` or `dir`
- It does not properly escape arguments with spaces or special characters
All these issues are handled correctly by `cross-spawn`.
There are some known modules, such as [win-spawn](https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/win-spawn), that try to solve this but they are either broken or provide faulty escaping of shell arguments.
## Usage
Exactly the same way as node's [`spawn`](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawn_command_args_options) or [`spawnSync`](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawnsync_command_args_options), so it's a drop in replacement.
```javascript
var spawn = require('cross-spawn');
// Spawn NPM asynchronously
var child = spawn('npm', ['list', '-g', '-depth', '0'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
// Spawn NPM synchronously
var results = spawn.sync('npm', ['list', '-g', '-depth', '0'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
```
## Tests
`$ npm test`
