x/proc/mod.ts>Process#writeToStdin

A better way to work with processes in Deno.

method Process.prototype.writeToStdin
Re-export
import { Process } from "https://deno.land/x/proc@0.22.1/mod.ts";

This is the "backdoor" way to write directly to the underlying process stdin without the overhead of a WritableIterable. Use instead of stdin for streamed data.

stdin is the way to go if you are passing ad-hoc, non-continuous data to process stdin. However, it adds a substantial amount of overhead, and it is very slow for processing small data. Using this function instead of stdin greatly improves performance where small data is a factor.

Parameters

iter: AsyncIterable<
| Uint8Array
| Uint8Array[]
| string
| string[]
>

The data being passed to the underlying process stdin.

Returns

Promise<void>
