It's possible to read multiple messages off the parent/child channel.
When that happens, make sure that recvHandle is cleared after emitting
the first message so it doesn't get emitted twice.
In process#send() and child_process.ChildProcess#send(), use 'utf8' as
the encoding instead of 'ascii' because 'ascii' mutilates non-ASCII
input. Correctly handle partial character sequences by introducing
a StringDecoder.
Sending over UTF-8 no longer works in v0.10 because the high bit of
each byte is now cleared when converting a Buffer to ASCII. See
commit 96a314b for details.
Fixes#4999 and #5011.
child.send can send net servers and sockets. Now that we have support
for dgram clusters this functionality should be extended to include
dgram sockets.
Keeping list of all sockets that were sent to child process causes memory
leak and thus unacceptable (see #4587). However `server.close()` should
still work properly.
This commit introduces two options:
* child.send(socket, { track: true }) - will send socket and track its status.
You should use it when you want to receive `close` event on sent sockets.
* child.send(socket) - will send socket without tracking it status. This
performs much better, because of smaller number of RTT between master and
child.
With both of these options `server.close()` will wait for all sent
sockets to get closed.

This commit introduces two options:
* child.send(socket, { track: true }) - will send socket and track its status.
You should use it when you want `server.connections` to be a reliable
number, and receive `close` event on sent sockets.
* child.send(socket) - will send socket without tracking it status. This
performs much better, because of smaller number of RTT between master and
child.

Allows for arbitrary path to executable spawned using `fork`. This
fixes some issues around running multiple versions of node with workers
and allows arbitrary IPC with compatible executables.
Fixes#3248.
A child process created with .fork() needed to call `process.exit()` explicitly
because the communication channel with the parent kept the event loop alive.
Fix that by only ref'ing the channel when there are 'message' event listeners.
Fixes#3799.
With this patch the IPC socket is no longer available in the
ChildProcess.stdio array. This shouldn't be very problematic, since
this socket was effectively non-functional; it would never emit any
events.
This commit reverts the following commits (in reverse chronological order):
74d076c errnoException must be done immediately
ddb02b9 net: support Server.listen(Pipe)
085a098 cluster: do not use internal server API
d138875 net: lazy listen on handler
Commit d138875 introduced a backwards incompatible change that broke the
simple/test-net-socket-timeout and simple/test-net-lazy-listen tests - it
defers listening on the target port until the `net.Server` instance has at
least one 'connection' event listener.
The other patches had to be reverted in order to revert d138875.
Fixes#3832.
Previously, a command with a short stdio array would result in the child's
stdout and stderr objects set to null. For example:
var c = child_process.spawn(cmd, args, {stdio: ['pipe']});
// results in c.stdout === null.
The expected behavior is the above line functioning the same as this one:
var c = child_process.spawn(cmd, args, {stdio: ['pipe', null, null]});
// provides correct (non-null) c.stdout; as does the above, after this fix.

* When the process is already dead, but the `exit` signal wasn't raised
yet, the ESRCH error should be ignored.
* When an invalid signal is specified, kill() should throw.
* Like process.kill(), child_process.kill() now preserves a `0` signal
which can be used to check the liveliness of the child process.
* process.kill() and child_process.kill() will now return true if the
signal was actually delivered, and false otherwise.
* When an `exec`-ed process is automatically killed because a time or
buffer limit is exceeded, and the kill() fails, this error should be
reported through the `exec` callback.
Fixes: #3409
child_process.fork() support sending native hander object, this patch add support for sending
net.Server and net.Socket object by converting the object to a native handle object and back
to a useful object again.
Note when sending a Socket there was emitted by a net Server object, the server.connections
property becomes null, because it is no longer possible to known when it is destroyed.
Currently, a child process does not emit the 'exit' event until 'close' events
have been received on all three of the child's stdio streams. This change makes
the child object emit 'exit' when the child exits, and a new 'close' event when
all stdio streams are closed.
