# 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`
