Node.js child process, access process object in event handle?

Question

Node.js child process, access process object in event handle?

So I have an array of child processes in my NodeJs application. Now I have

cp_array[i].process.on("exit",exithandle(code,signal));

On each of them. The problem is I want to be able to access the process object of the process that exited in the exithandle. So if I'd put like cp_array[i].process.name="example" I'd be able to access my "example" string with process.name within the exithandle function.

You can access cp_array[i].process through the this keyword:

function exithandle(code, signal) {
    var process = this;
    return function() {
        // Whatever
    };
}
