Caido

Child Process ​

Caido plugins offer a child_process module similiar to NodeJS's child_process module. This allows you to spawn child processes from your code, with some limitations.

This page will cover the differences between NodeJS's child_process module and Caido's implementation.

INFO

For an exhaustive list of implemented features, refer to the child_process.d.ts file.

Differences ​

  • The function exec is not implemented, use spawn with the shell option instead.
  • The method pipe is not available to streams (like stdout and stderr).
