site:nodejs.org/api child_process ChildProcess stdin writable stream error event unhandled

💡 Result:

In Node.js, the subprocess.stdin property of a ChildProcess object is a writable stream [1]. Like all EventEmitter-based objects in Node.js, writable streams emit an 'error' event when an error occurs during operations such as writing or piping data [2][3][4]. If an 'error' event is emitted on a writable stream and no listener is registered to handle it, the error is thrown, resulting in an uncaught exception that will typically cause the Node.js process to exit and crash [3][4][5]. This occurs because 'error' events are treated as special cases in the Node.js event emitter implementation; they do not propagate or get caught by surrounding try...catch blocks if they occur asynchronously after the initial call stack has cleared [3][4][5]. To prevent this, you should always attach an 'error' listener to the subprocess.stdin stream [4]. Example of proper handling: const { spawn } = require('node:child_process'); const subprocess = spawn('some-command'); subprocess.stdin.on('error', (err) => { console.error('An error occurred on stdin:', err); }); // Proceed with writing to stdin subprocess.stdin.write('some data'); Additionally, be aware that if the child process exits or closes the pipe unexpectedly, attempts to write to the stdin stream may trigger these errors [2][3]. As a best practice, always monitor the stream for errors to ensure process stability [4].

Citations:


Handle proc.stdin errors before recovery.

If the helper closes its command pipe while proc.stdin.write("stop\n") is pending, the writable stream can emit EPIPE. The macOS capture drain has no proc.stdin error listener, so the unhandled event can terminate the main process before resolveNativeMacCaptureStop runs. Add a persistent listener that records the error and rejects the stop wait, allowing the existing exit-and-MP4 recovery path to handle it. Add a regression test for a helper that exits while the stop command is written.

🌐 Web query:

mp4box npm 2.3.0 createFile appendBuffer return next buffer offset official

💡 Result:

In mp4box.js, the appendBuffer(data) method is designed to assist in progressive file parsing. When you pass an ArrayBuffer to this method, it expects the buffer to have a fileStart property (a Number) that indicates the 0-based byte position of that buffer within the original file [1][2][3]. The appendBuffer method returns the file offset that is expected to be the fileStart value for the next chunk of data [1][2][3]. This return value is intended to help you manage the reading process, particularly in cases where the moov box is not located at the beginning of the file, allowing the parser to request specific parts of the file needed for successful decoding [1][2][3]. Example usage: var ab = getArrayBuffer; // Method returning your ArrayBuffer ab.fileStart = 0; // Set the starting position of this buffer var nextBufferStart = mp4boxfile.appendBuffer(ab); // Use the returned value for the next read [1][2][3] Note that while the returned offset is intended to guide the next request, users have reported in various GitHub issues that it is crucial to handle potential mismatches or loops in logic if the returned offset does not advance as expected, sometimes necessitating manual management of the offset based on your application's read logic [4][5][6]. Always ensure your ArrayBuffer is correctly assigned the fileStart property before calling the method [1][2].

Use the next offset returned by appendBuffer.

appendBuffer returns the file offset for the next read. Line 55 ignores this value and advances by one megabyte. For a large mdat before moov, this can force sequential reads through the complete recording and delay stop recovery and manifest creation. Set the next read offset from the returned value, and add a regression case for a multi-chunk mdat before moov.
