Advanced tools
Readme
Runs specified command with modified CWD, redirecting all stdio in the correct way (i.e. you can pipe or redirect stdin/stdout/stderr).
The package installs cwd command with the following signature:
cwd <directory> -- <command> [arg]...
$ cwd /usr/bin -- pwd
/usr/bin
$ cwd /usr/bin -- ls |ack '^zip'
zip
zipcloak
zipgrep
zipinfo
zipnote
zipsplit
More realistic example — universally operate on directories no-matter-what-flag-tool-authors-have-chosen-to-use.
$ cwd ./dir -- tar cvaf ../dir.tbz2 .
$ cwd ./dir -- zip -r ../dir .
$ cwd ./dir -- 7z a ../dir . -tzip
In all of these cases files are saved with file names relative to ./dir.
Usage: cwd <directory> -- <command> [arg]...
Well, there is an API, but you should definitely use Node's own child_process.exec instead. Take a look at index.js if you are not convinced.
