node:child_process
#Import
import child_process from "nstdlib/node/child_process";Note
The API is available, but not everything works. No process spawning.
#Support
- nstd: Gives the same output as Node.js in side-by-side tests: spawn, scm-rights.
- Browser: Loads with a minimal
processobject. 9 of Node's 9 exports are available. 1 of 1 behavior checks match Node.js.
#Exports (9)
Every name Node.js exports from this module, and what you get when you read it, as a named import or as a property of the default import:
- ✅ A value, both ways. An export that throws an error naming the missing feature also counts.
- ⚠️ A value one way,
undefinedthe other. - ❔
undefinedboth ways. - ❌ Not exported at all.
- – Not measured.

#Diagnostics
nstdlib running inside Node.js. This isn't an environment it's meant for, so it isn't shown above, but it tells a library problem from an environment one:
coverage: 9/9 of the host's export names answer inside host node. API only. No process spawning.smoke: Imports in a clean child process.
