When you spawn a child process with [`Bun.spawn()`](/runtime/child-process), `proc.stdout` is a `ReadableStream` of the child's `stdout`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ts
|
||
|
|
const proc = Bun.spawn(["echo", "hello"]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const output = await proc.stdout.text();
|
||
|
|
output; // => "hello\n"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|

To pipe the child process's `stdout` to the parent's `stdout` instead, set the `stdout` option to `"inherit"`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ts
|
||
|
|
const proc = Bun.spawn(["echo", "hello"], {
|
||
|
|
stdout: "inherit",
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
