execfile-subcommand


[child_process#execFile][execfile] with an additional subcommand argument

``javascript
const execFileSubcommand = require('execfile-subcommand');

execFileSubcommand('npm', 'view', ['npm@3.0.0', 'version'], (err, stdout, stderr) => {
stdout; //=> '3.0.0\n'
});
`

Installation

Use npm.

`
npm install execfile-subcommand
`

API

$3

file: String (filename of the program to run)
subcommand: String (subcommand of the root command)
args: Array of strings (arguments passed to the subcommand)
opts: Object ([child_process#execFile][execfile] options)
cb: Function (callback function)
Return: ChildProcess instance

Instead of running the root program directly as [child_process#execFile][execfile] does, it runs the given subcommand of the program specified with the second argument.

`javascript
const execFileSubcommand = require('execfile-subcommand');
execFileSubcommand('npm' 'install', ['babel'], () => {/ ... /});

// --- is almost the same script as ---

const {execFile} = require('child_process');
execFile('npm' ['install', 'babel'], () => {/ ... /});
