Expose localPort for binding to a specific port for outbound
connections.
If localAddress is not specified '0.0.0.0' is used for ip4 and '::'
for ip6 connections.
Fixes #7092
This implements the user-facing APIs that lets one run a child process
and block until it exits.
Logic shared with the async counterpart of each function was refactored
to enable code reuse.
Docs and tests are included.
The AsyncListener API has been moved into the "tracing" module in order
to keep the process object free from unnecessary clutter.

Make the HMAC digest method configurable. Update crypto.pbkdf2() and
crypto.pbkdf2Sync() to take an extra, optional digest argument.
Before this commit, SHA-1 (admittedly the most common method) was used
exclusively.
Fixes #6553.
Before this commit, verification exceptions had err.message set to the
OpenSSL error code (e.g. 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE').
This commit moves the error code to err.code and replaces err.message
with a human-readable error. Example:
// before
{
message: 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE'
}
// after
{
code: 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE',
message: 'unable to verify the first certificate'
}
UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE is a good example of why you want this:
the error code suggests that it's the last certificate that fails to
validate while it's actually the first certificate in the chain.
Going by the number of mailing list posts and StackOverflow questions,
it's a source of confusion to many people.
spawn stdio options can be a 'stream', but the following code
fails with "Incorrect value for stdio stream: [object Object]",
despite being a stream. The problem is the test isn't really
for a stream, its for an object with a numeric `.fd` property,
and streams do not have an fd until their async 'open' event
has occurred. This is reasonable, but was not documented.
child_process.spawn('date', [], {stdio: [
'ignore',
fs.createWriteStream('out.txt',{flags:'a'}),
'ignore']})
There was a flaw in the old API that has been fixed. Now the
asyncListener callback is now the "create" object property in the
callback object, and is optional.
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.
- fixed some incomprehensible wording ("event assigned to..."?)
- removed undocumented and unnecessary process properties from example
- corrected the docs on the default for the exec setting
- described when workers are removed from cluster.workers
- described addressType, which was documented as existing, but not what
values it might have
- spell out more clearly the limitations of setupMaster
- describe disconnect in sufficient detail that why a child does or does
not exit can be understood
- clarify which cluster functions and events are available on process or
just on the worker, as well as which are not available in children,
- don't describe events as the same, when they have receive different
arguments
- fix misleading disconnect example: since disconnect already calls
close on all servers, doing it again in the example is a no-op, not
the "force close" it was claimed to be
- document the error event, not catching it will kill your node
- describe suicide better, it is important, and a bit unintuitive
(process.exit() is not suicide?)
- use worker consistently throughout, instead of child.
- Make explicit that .disconnected is set before the disconnect event,
and it is not allowed to send messages after calling .disconnect(),
even while waiting for a delayed disconect event.
- Remove obsolete claim that explicit exit is required
- Describe silent: in the options for fork()
- Describe .connected as the property it is, not just as an aside in
the disconnect() method
A follow-up commit will save the domain name on the request object but
we can't call that property 'domain' because that gets intercepted by
src/node.cc and lib/domain.js to implement the node.js feature of the
same name.
To avoid confusion, rename all variables called 'domain' to 'hostname'.
Add a short explanation of what the load average is and why it's
unavailable on Windows.
Also sneak in a fix for a typo that I introduced in commit 56c5806.
* Extend examples to show how to handle non-constructor invocation in
constructor callback functions.
* Fix up examples to initialize member variables at object construction.
* Fix up a few naming inconsistencies.
Fixes #5701.
Since it is Unix tradition to use exit code 1 for general-purpose script
bail-out, and the way of doing that in Node is to throw an exception and
not catch it, it makes the most sense to exit with 1 when an exception
goes uncaught.
Move the `Invalid Argument` exit to 9, so that it's something specific,
and clear that it's a node internal error.
Also, document the exit codes that we use.
- The caveats no longer apply.
- Document options arguments, including `displayErrors` and the
different things it means in each place.
- Re-did examples to be more on point, e.g. `runInContext` example
runs multiple scripts in the same context.
- Documented how `vm.createContext`s meaning has substantially changed,
and is now more of a "contextifier" than a "creator."
- Reordered vm functions to be readable in order; the concept of
contextifying needs to come before `runInContext` and
`runInNewContext`.
- Documented new `vm.isContext`.
- Documented the `vm.Script` constructor, instead of `createScript`,
since factory methods are silly and we wanted to document the class's
methods anyway.
- Documented `script.runInContext`.
- Change stability to stable, if I may be so bold.
`dns.lookup` defaults to selecting IPv4 record even if IPv6 is available
for the desired zone. Generally, this approach works, but if IPv4
address is unavailable - there'll be no other way to opt-out and connect using
IPv6 address than calling `dns.lookup` and passing it to `.connect()`
directly.
This commit adds `family` option to `net.connect` method to figure out
this issue.
smalloc.alloc now accepts an optional third argument which allows
specifying the type of array that should be allocated. All available
types are now located on smalloc.Types.
Flags and modes aren't the same, symlinks are followed in all of the
path but the last component, docs should say something about what the
mode argument is for and when its used, fs.openSync should point to the
function that contains the docs for its args, as fs.writeSync does.
Don't throw an exception when the argument to %j is an object that
contains circular references, it's not helpful. Catch the exception
and return the string '[Circular]'.
Prior, strings would first be converted to a Buffer before being written
to disk. Now the intermediary step has been removed.
Other changes of note:
* Class member "must_free" was added to req_wrap so to track if the
memory needs to be manually cleaned up after use.
* External String Resource support, so the memory will be used directly
instead of copying out the data.
* Docs have been updated to reflect that if position is not a number
then it will assume null. Previously it specified the argument must be
null, but that was not how the code worked. An attempt was made to
only support == null, but there were too many tests that assumed !=
number would be enough.
* Docs update show some of the write/writeSync arguments are optional.
Passing the number of sent bytes to the callback is superfluous;
datagram sockets operate in atomic mode: either the sendmsg() system
call succeeds or it fails but it never does partial writes.
Instead, report send errors to the callback. UDP error reporting is
fairly haphazard on most platforms. You should not expect reliable
delivery of anything besides EMSGSIZE and (possibly) ENETDOWN and
ENETUNREACH.
Fixes #2608.
Closes #5860
In streams2, there is an "old mode" for compatibility. Once switched
into this mode, there is no going back.
With this change, there is a "flowing mode" and a "paused mode". If you
add a data listener, then this will start the flow of data. However,
hitting the `pause()` method will switch *back* into a non-flowing mode,
where the `read()` method will pull data out.
Every time `read()` returns a data chunk, it also emits a `data` event.
In this way, a passive data listener can be added, and the stream passed
off to some other reader, for use with progress bars and the like.
There is no API change beyond this added flexibility.
It will be confusing if later on we add Buffer#dispose(), and smalloc is
its own cpp api anyways. So instead create a new require('smalloc') to
expose the previous Buffer.alloc/dispose methods, and expose copyOnto
and kMaxLength as well.
Other changes:
* Added documentation and additional tests.
* smalloc::CopyOnto has changed from using assert() to throwing errors
on bad argument values because it is not exposed to the user.
* Minor style fixes.
The Streams API doc is now broken up into 3 sections:
1. API for Consumers
2. API for Implementors
3. Details and Extras
This addresses one of the biggest points of confusion for new users who
start to consume streams, and get the impression that they have to do
lots of extra work and implement classes and such, just to get some data
out of a file.
While the new Buffer implementation is much faster we still have the
necessity of using Buffer pools. This is undesirable because it may
still lead to unwanted memory retention, but for the time being this is
the best solution.
Because of this re-introduction, and since there is no more SlowBuffer
type, the SlowBuffer method has been re-purposed to return a non-pooled
Buffer instance. This will be helpful for developers to store data for
indeterminate lengths of time without introducing a memory leak.
Another change to Buffer pools was that they are only allocated if the
requested chunk is < poolSize / 2. This was done because allocations are
much quicker now, and it's a better use of the pool.
Memory allocations are now done through smalloc. The Buffer cc class has
been removed completely, but for backwards compatibility have left the
namespace as Buffer.
The .parent attribute is only set if the Buffer is a slice of an
allocation. Which is then set to the alloc object (not a Buffer).
The .offset attribute is now a ReadOnly set to 0, for backwards
compatibility. I'd like to remove it in the future (pre v1.0).
A few alterations have been made to how arguments are either coerced or
thrown. All primitives will now be coerced to their respective values,
and (most) all out of range index requests will throw.
The indexes that are coerced were left for backwards compatibility. For
example: Buffer slice operates more like Array slice, and coerces
instead of throwing out of range indexes. This may change in the future.
The reason for wanting to throw for out of range indexes is because
giving js access to raw memory has high potential risk. To mitigate that
it's easier to make sure the developer is always quickly alerted to the
fact that their code is attempting to access beyond memory bounds.
Because SlowBuffer will be deprecated, and simply returns a new Buffer
instance, all tests on SlowBuffer have been removed.
Heapdumps will now show usage under "smalloc" instead of "Buffer".
ParseArrayIndex was added to node_internals to support proper uint
argument checking/coercion for external array data indexes.
SlabAllocator had to be updated since handle_ no longer exists.
The console module has always been called 'stdio' in the
table-of-contents, but nowhere else, since its name is
'console'. This makes it difficult to find.
This is a back-port of commit 226a20d from the master branch.

Resolves minor discrepancies between android and standard POSIX systems.
In addition, some configure parameters were added, and a helper-script
for android configuration. Ideally, this script should be merged into
the standard configure script.
To build for android, source the android-configure script with an NDK
path:
source ./android-configure ~/android-ndk-r8d
This will create an android standalone toolchain and export the
necessary environment parameters.
After that, build as normal:
make -j8
After the build, you should now have android-compatible NodeJS binaries.
Split `tls.js` into `_tls_legacy.js`, containing legacy
`createSecurePair` API, and `_tls_wrap.js` containing new code based on
`tls_wrap` binding.
Remove tests that are no longer useful/valid.
This reverts commit a40133d10c.
Unfortunately, this breaks socket.io. Even though it's not strictly an
API change, it is too subtle and in too brittle an area of node, to be
done in a stable branch.

Add localAddress and localPort properties to tls.CleartextStream.

Commit 38149bb changes http.get() and http.request() to escape unsafe
characters. However, that creates an incompatibility with v0.10 that
is difficult to work around: if you escape the path manually, then in
v0.11 it gets escaped twice. Change lib/http.js so it no longer tries
to fix up bad request paths, simply reject them with an exception.
The actual check is rather basic right now. The full check for illegal
characters is difficult to implement efficiently because it requires a
few characters of lookahead. That's why it currently only checks for
spaces because those are guaranteed to create an invalid request.
Fixes #5474.
