# cross-spawn [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/IndigoUnited/node-cross-spawn.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/IndigoUnited/node-cross-spawn)

A cross platform solution to node's spawn.


## Installation

`$ npm install cross-spawn`


## 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`

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, so it's a drop in replacement.


## Tests

`$ npm test`
