The fact that the "exit" event passes the exit code as an argument
as omitted from the documentation. This adds the explanation and
augments the example code to show that.
The UNIX domain is also known as the LOCAL domain (AF_LOCAL), and
node/libuv implements it on Windows using named pipes. The API
documentation did not describe the naming rules for named pipes, and
also repeatedly described `listen(path)` as being UNIX, which it is not
on Windows.
Closes#6743
This adds two new member functions getAuthTag and setAuthTag that
are useful for AES-GCM encryption modes. Use getAuthTag after
Cipheriv.final, transmit the tag along with the data and use
Decipheriv.setAuthTag to have the encrypted data verified.
The null signal test existed, but only tested the case where the target
process existed, not when it did not exist.
Also clarified that SIGUSR1 is reserved by Node.js only for receiveing,
its not at all reserved when sending a signal with kill().
kill(pid, 'O_RDWR'), or any other node constant, "worked". I fixed this
by also checking for 'SIG'. The same as done in the isSignal() function.
Now the signal names supported by process.kill() are the same as those
supported by process.on().
Add a 'serialNumber' property to the object that is returned by
tls.CryptoStream#getPeerCertificate(). Contains the certificate's
serial number encoded as a hex string. The format is identical to
`openssl x509 -serial -in path/to/certificate`.
Fixes#6583.
As discussed on the mailing list: the module will not go away but the
API will continue to receive updates as the need arises.

Currently fs.watch does not have an option to specify if a directory
should be recursively watched for events across all subdirectories.
Several file watcher APIs support this. FSEvents on OS X > 10.5 is
one example. libuv has added support for FSEvents, but fs.watch had
no way to specify that a recursive watch was required.
fs.watch now has an additional boolean option 'recursive'. When set
to true, and when supported, fs.watch will return notifications for
the entire directory tree hierarchy rooted at the specified path.
Previous behaviour was to drop to an openssl prompt
("Enter PEM pass phrase:") when supplying a private key with a
passphrase. This change adds a fourth, optional, paramter that
will be used as the passphrase.
To include this parameter in a backwards compatible way it was
necessary to expose the previously undocumented (and unexposed)
feature of being able to explitly setting the output encoding.
