interface Deno.CommandOptions

Options which can be set when calling Deno.Command.

#args: string[]

optional

Arguments to pass to the process.

#cwd: string | URL

optional

The working directory of the process.

If not specified, the cwd of the parent process is used.

#clearEnv: boolean = false

optional

Clear environmental variables from parent process.

Doesn't guarantee that only env variables are present, as the OS may set environmental variables for processes.

#env: Record<string, string>

optional

Environmental variables to pass to the subprocess.

#uid: number

optional

Sets the child process’s user ID. This translates to a setuid call in the child process. Failure in the set uid call will cause the spawn to fail.

#gid: number

optional

Similar to uid, but sets the group ID of the child process.

#signal: AbortSignal

optional

An AbortSignal that allows closing the process using the corresponding AbortController by sending the process a SIGTERM signal.

Not supported in Deno.Command.outputSync.

#stdin: "piped"
 | "inherit"
 | "null"

optional

How stdin of the spawned process should be handled.

Defaults to "inherit" for output & outputSync, and "inherit" for spawn.

#stdout: "piped"
 | "inherit"
 | "null"

optional

How stdout of the spawned process should be handled.

Defaults to "piped" for output & outputSync, and "inherit" for spawn.

#stderr: "piped"
 | "inherit"
 | "null"

optional

How stderr of the spawned process should be handled.

Defaults to "piped" for output & outputSync, and "inherit" for spawn.

#windowsRawArguments: boolean = false

optional

Skips quoting and escaping of the arguments on windows. This option is ignored on non-windows platforms.

#detached: boolean = false

optional

Whether to detach the spawned process from the current process. This allows the spawned process to continue running after the current process exits.

Note: In order to allow the current process to exit, you need to ensure you call unref() on the child process.

In addition, the stdio streams – if inherited or piped – may keep the current process from exiting until the streams are closed.
