Package Exports

  • open

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (open) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

open

open a file or url in the user's preferred application

usage

var open = require('open');
open('http://www.google.com');

install

npm install open

how it works

  • on win32 uses start
  • on darwin uses open
  • otherwise uses the xdg-open script from freedesktop.org

warning

The same care should be taken when calling open as if you were calling child_process.exec directly. If it is an executable it will run in a new shell.
