# `@actions/exec`
## Usage
#### Basic
You can use this package to execute your tools on the command line in a cross platform way:
```js
const exec = require('@actions/exec');
await exec.exec('node index.js');
```
#### Args
You can also pass in arg arrays:
```js
const exec = require('@actions/exec');
await exec.exec('node', ['index.js', 'foo=bar']);
```
#### Output/options
Capture output or specify [other options](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/d9347d4ab99fd507c0b9104b2cf79fb44fcc827d/packages/exec/src/interfaces.ts#L5):
```js
const exec = require('@actions/exec');
let myOutput = '';
let myError = '';
const options = {};
options.listeners = {
stdout: (data: Buffer) => {
myOutput += data.toString();
},
stderr: (data: Buffer) => {
myError += data.toString();
}
};
options.cwd = './lib';
await exec.exec('node', ['index.js', 'foo=bar'], options);
```
#### Exec tools not in the PATH
You can specify the full path for tools not in the PATH:
```js
const exec = require('@actions/exec');
await exec.exec('"/path/to/my-tool"', ['arg1']);
```
