The Node.js child process module helps us to spawn child processes in a similar manner to popen(3).
The following are the three major way to create child process:
- child_process.exec() method: This method runs a command in a shell/console and buffers the output.
- child_process.spawn() method: This method creates a new process with a given command.
- child_process.fork() method: This method is a special case of spawn() method to create node child processes.
