子进程:stdout参数

根据文档,child_process.exec命令的回调stdout参数应为Buffer类型。

http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback

问题在于它不是:

var exec, child;
exec = require('child_process').exec;

child = exec('/bin/echo -n "hello"', function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    if (error) {
        console.log("error!");
        return;
    }
    console.log("isBuffer: " + Buffer.isBuffer(stdout));
    console.log("type: " + typeof stdout);
});

打印

isBuffer: false
type: string

为什么呢?这是文档错误吗?

这是一个主要问题,因为如果stdout中存在二进制数据,我会收到不正确的数据。将{encoding: 'binary'}置于选项中并没有帮助。

答案 0 :(得分:4)

node.js source code表明,从0.10.18开始,stdout始终是一个字符串。如果要获取二进制数据,则必须使用spawn

然而,如果你传递{encoding: 'buffer'},似乎node.js 0.12会引入一个获取二进制数据的选项:

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/child_process.js#L617):

if (options.encoding !== 'buffer' && Buffer.isEncoding(options.encoding)) {

编辑:代码示例来自master并且还没有稳定版本。

编辑2 :这是exec版本的后向版本,它将接受缓冲区编码:

var util = require('util'),
    spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

var exec = function(command /*, options, callback */) {
  var file, args, options, callback;

  if (process.platform === 'win32') {
    file = 'cmd.exe';
    args = ['/s', '/c', '"' + command + '"'];
    // Make a shallow copy before patching so we don't clobber the user's
    // options object.
    options = util._extend({}, options);
    options.windowsVerbatimArguments = true;
