+# child-process-ctor [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/child-process-ctor.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/child-process-ctor)
+
+> Node.js `childProcess.ChildProcess` ponyfill
+
+> Ponyfill: A polyfill that doesn't overwrite the native method
+
+The `ChildProcess` constructor weren't previously easily exposed. This is most likely going to [change soon](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1760).
+
+
+## Install
+
+```
+$ npm install --save child-process-ctor
+```
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+var childProcessCtor = require('child-process-ctor');
+
+console.log(typeof childProcessCtor().prototype.spawn);
+//=> 'function'
+```
