package node.child_process; /** The `child_process.execFile()` function is similar to {@link exec} except that it does not spawn a shell by default. Rather, the specified executable `file` is spawned directly as a new process making it slightly more efficient than {@link exec}. The same options as {@link exec} are supported. Since a shell is not spawned, behaviors such as I/O redirection and file globbing are not supported. ```js const { execFile } = require('node:child_process'); const child = execFile('node', ['--version'], (error, stdout, stderr) => { if (error) { throw error; } console.log(stdout); }); ``` The `stdout` and `stderr` arguments passed to the callback will contain the stdout and stderr output of the child process. By default, Node.js will decode the output as UTF-8 and pass strings to the callback. The `encoding` option can be used to specify the character encoding used to decode the stdout and stderr output. If `encoding` is `'buffer'`, or an unrecognized character encoding, `Buffer` objects will be passed to the callback instead. If this method is invoked as its `util.promisify()` ed version, it returns a `Promise` for an `Object` with `stdout` and `stderr` properties. The returned`ChildProcess` instance is attached to the `Promise` as a `child` property. In case of an error (including any error resulting in an exit code other than 0), a rejected promise is returned, with the same `error` object given in the callback, but with two additional properties `stdout` and `stderr`. ```js const util = require('node:util'); const execFile = util.promisify(require('node:child_process').execFile); async function getVersion() { const { stdout } = await execFile('node', ['--version']); console.log(stdout); } getVersion(); ``` **If the `shell` option is enabled, do not pass unsanitized user input to this** **function. Any input containing shell metacharacters may be used to trigger** **arbitrary command execution.** If the `signal` option is enabled, calling `.abort()` on the corresponding`AbortController` is similar to calling `.kill()` on the child process except the error passed to the callback will be an `AbortError`: ```js const { execFile } = require('node:child_process'); const controller = new AbortController(); const { signal } = controller; const child = execFile('node', ['--version'], { signal }, (error) => { console.error(error); // an AbortError }); controller.abort(); ``` **/ @:jsRequire("child_process", "execFile") @valueModuleOnly extern class ExecFile { /** The `child_process.execFile()` function is similar to {@link exec} except that it does not spawn a shell by default.
