+# utilityProcess
+
+`utilityProcess` creates a child process with
+Node.js and Message ports enabled. It provides the equivalent of [`child_process.fork`][] API from Node.js
+but instead uses [Services API][] from Chromium to launch the child process.
+
+Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)<br />
+
+## Methods
+
+### `utilityProcess.fork(modulePath[, args][, options])`
+
+* `modulePath` string - Path to the script that should run as entrypoint in the child process.
+* `args` string[] (optional) - List of string arguments that will be available as `process.argv`
+  in the child process.
+* `options` Object (optional)
+  * `env` Object (optional) - Environment key-value pairs. Default is `process.env`.
+  * `execArgv` string[] (optional) - List of string arguments passed to the executable.
+  * `cwd` string (optional) - Current working directory of the child process.
+  * `stdio` (string[] | string) (optional) - Allows configuring the mode for `stdout` and `stderr`
+    of the child process. Default is `inherit`.
+    String value can be one of `pipe`, `ignore`, `inherit`, for more details on these values you can refer to
+    [stdio][] documentation from Node.js. Currently this option only supports configuring `stdout` and
+    `stderr` to either `pipe`, `inherit` or `ignore`. Configuring `stdin` is not supported; `stdin` will
+    always be ignored.
+    For example, the supported values will be processed as following:
+    * `pipe`: equivalent to ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'] (the default)
+    * `ignore`: equivalent to 'ignore', 'ignore', 'ignore']
+    * `inherit`: equivalent to ['ignore', 'inherit', 'inherit']
+  * `serviceName` string (optional) - Name of the process that will appear in `name` property of
+    [`child-process-gone` event of `app`](app.md#event-child-process-gone).
+    Default is `node.mojom.NodeService`.
+  * `allowLoadingUnsignedLibraries` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - With this flag, the utility process will be
+    launched via the `Electron Helper (Plugin).app` helper executable on macOS, which can be
+    codesigned with `com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation` and
+    `com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory` entitlements. This will allow the utility process
+    to load unsigned libraries. Unless you specifically need this capability, it is best to leave this disabled.
+    Default is `false`.
+
+Returns [`UtilityProcess`](utility-process.md#class-utilityprocess)
+
+## Class: UtilityProcess
+
+> Instances of the `UtilityProcess` represent the Chromium spawned child process
+> with Node.js integration.
+
+`UtilityProcess` is an [EventEmitter][event-emitter].
+
+### Instance Methods
+
+#### `child.postMessage(message, [transfer])`
+
+* `message` any
+* `transfer` MessagePortMain[] (optional)
+
+Send a message to the child process, optionally transferring ownership of
+zero or more [`MessagePortMain`][] objects.
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+// Main process
+const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannelMain()
+const child = utilityProcess.fork(path.join(__dirname, 'test.js'))
+child.postMessage({ message: 'hello' }, [port1])
+
+// Child process
+process.parentPort.once('message', (e) => {
+  const [port] = e.ports
+  // ...
+})
+```
+
+#### `child.kill()`
+
+Returns `boolean`
+
+Terminates the process gracefully. On POSIX, it uses SIGTERM
+but will ensure the process is reaped on exit. This function returns
+true if the kill is successful, and false otherwise.
+
+### Instance Properties
+
+#### `child.pid`
+
+A `Integer | undefined` representing the process identifier (PID) of the child process.
+If the child process fails to spawn due to errors, then the value is `undefined`. When
+the child process exits, then the value is `undefined` after the `exit` event is emitted.
+
+#### `child.stdout`
+
+A `NodeJS.ReadableStream | null` that represents the child process's stdout.
+If the child was spawned with options.stdio[1] set to anything other than 'pipe', then this will be `null`.
+When the child process exits, then the value is `null` after the `exit` event is emitted.
+
+```js
+// Main process
+const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannelMain()
+const child = utilityProcess.fork(path.join(__dirname, 'test.js'))
+child.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
+  console.log(`Received chunk ${data}`)
+})
+```
+
+#### `child.stderr`
+
+A `NodeJS.ReadableStream | null` that represents the child process's stderr.
+If the child was spawned with options.stdio[2] set to anything other than 'pipe', then this will be `null`.
+When the child process exits, then the value is `null` after the `exit` event is emitted.
+
+### Instance Events
+
+#### Event: 'spawn'
+
+Emitted once the child process has spawned successfully.
+
+#### Event: 'exit'
+
+Returns:
+
+* `code` number - Contains the exit code for
+the process obtained from waitpid on posix, or GetExitCodeProcess on windows.
+
+Emitted after the child process ends.
+
+#### Event: 'message'
+
+Returns:
+
+* `message` any
+
+Emitted when the child process sends a message using [`process.parentPort.postMessage()`](process.md#processparentport).

+Subject: feat: configure launch options for service process
+
+- POSIX:
+  Allows configuring base::LaunchOptions::fds_to_remap when launching the child process.
+- Win:
+  Allows configuring base::LaunchOptions::handles_to_inherit, base::LaunchOptions::stdout_handle
+  and base::LaunchOptions::stderr_handle when launching the child process.
+- All:
+  Allows configuring base::LauncOptions::current_directory, base::LaunchOptions::enviroment
+  and base::LaunchOptions::clear_environment.
+
+An example use of this option, UtilityProcess API allows reading the output From
+stdout and stderr of child process by creating a pipe, whose write end is remapped
+to STDOUT_FILENO/STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE and STDERR_FILENO/STD_ERROR_HANDLE allowing the
+parent process to read from the pipe.
