ffmpeg --help, node child_process spawn 触发器 stderr

Question

所以我只是运行ffmpeg --help使用node.js，为什么会有stderr？我觉得应该只有stdout。是ffmpeg的问题还是node.js?

代码：

import path from 'path';
import {spawn} from 'child_process';

const childProcess = spawn(path.join(__dirname, 'ffmpeg'), ['--help']);
childProcess.stderr.setEncoding('utf-8');
childProcess.stderr.on('data', data => {
  console.log('stderr:');
  console.log(data);
});

输出：

stderr:

让我回答我自己的问题：ffmpeg 默认情况下将正常输出重定向到 stderr。这很奇怪，但它就是这样设计的

ffmpeg --help, node child_process spawn 触发器 stderr

ffmpeg --help, node child_process spawn trigger stderr

ffmpeg

child-process

node.js
