-
-## The purpose
-smartipc makes it easy to spawn tasks into subprocesses without loosing control over what those processes do.
-You can transparently call functions and expect returned data using promises.
-
-## Usage
-
-Server:
-```typescript
-import {Ipcserver} from 'smartipc'
-import * as q from 'q'
-
-let myIpcserver = new Ipcserver({
-    appspace: 'mymodule'
-})
-
-// The subprocess js file cannot have any cli arguments
-// since this mechanism is used by IpcServer to setup the connection
-myIpcServer.spawnProcess('./myFile','mySubProcessNameAlias') // nameAlias identifies the subprocess and will prefix any logs from child Process
-
-let someData = {
-    key1: 'value1',
-    key2: 'value2'
-}
-
-myIpcServer.call('mySubProcessNameAlias','myAwesomeFunction',someData).then(someAnswerData => {
-    console.log(someAnswerData.key1)
-})
-
-```
-
-Client:
-```typescript
-import { Ipcclient } from './smartipc'
-import * as q from 'q'
-
-let localIpc = new Ipcclient() // gets its connection information automatically using CLI args internally
-
-let myAwesomeFunction = (dataArg) => {
-    let done = plugins.q.defer()
-    console.log('awesome') // this will log transparently in the same console stream as the host process
-    let someAnswerData = {key1: 'this is an answer'}
-    done.resolve(someAnswerData)
-    return done.promise
-}
-
-localIpc.register([myAwesomeFunction])
-```

+Given the provided files and their contents, the comprehensive documentation for using **`@push.rocks/smartspawn`** with TypeScript and in a manner that provides thorough examples and descriptions of features and scenarios is extensive. However, I'll outline a concise and informative usage guide that can serve as a helpful starting point. For an in-depth understanding and a complete reference to all features, further reading, exploration, and experimentation with the library are recommended.
+
+# @push.rocks/smartspawn
+smart subprocess handling
+
+## Install
+
+To install `@push.rocks/smartspawn`, open your terminal and run the following command:
+
+```bash
+npm install @push.rocks/smartspawn
+```
+
+This command fetches the package from npm and adds it to your project's dependencies.
+
+## Usage
+
+This guide uses TypeScript and ESM syntax to demonstrate how to utilize `@push.rocks/smartspawn` for smart subprocess handling in your application.
+
+First, ensure that your TypeScript environment is set up to support ECMAScript modules (ESM). Your `tsconfig.json` should include:
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "module": "ESNext",
+    "target": "ESNext",
+    "moduleResolution": "node"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Starting and Stopping a Simple Thread
+
+`ThreadSimple` class allows you to manage subprocesses effectively. Here's how to start and stop a simple thread:
+
+```typescript
+// Import the necessary components from the library
+import { ThreadSimple } from '@push.rocks/smartspawn';
+
+// Define a function that creates, starts, and stops a thread
+async function demonstrateThreadSimple() {
+    // Create an instance of ThreadSimple
+    const mySimpleThread = new ThreadSimple('./path/to/worker.js');
+
+    // Start the thread
+    await mySimpleThread.start();
+    console.log('Thread has started.');
+
+    // Stop the thread
+    await mySimpleThread.stop();
+    console.log('Thread has stopped.');
+}
+
+// Call the function to demonstrate its functionality
+demonstrateThreadSimple();
+```
+
+The `./path/to/worker.js` should be the path to your worker script that you want to execute in a separate process.
+
+### Wrapping Processes
+
+`smartspawn` also provides functionality to wrap subprocesses, allowing you to modify or set up an environment before execution. Here's how to wrap and unwrap subprocesses:
+
+```typescript
+import { startSpawnWrap, endSpawnWrap } from '@push.rocks/smartspawn';
+
+// Start a wrap
+startSpawnWrap('path/to/script', ['arg1', 'arg2'], { ENV_VAR: 'value' });
+console.log('Subprocess wrapped.');
+
+// End the wrap when it's no longer needed
+endSpawnWrap();
+console.log('Subprocess unwrapped.');
+```
+
+### Advanced Thread Management
+
+`@push.rocks/smartspawn` integrates with the `threads` package to provide advanced threading capabilities. Here's a brief example showing how you might utilize it for more complex scenarios:
+
+```typescript
+import { Thread, spawn, Worker } from 'threads';
+
+async function advancedThreadExample() {
+  const thread = await spawn(new Worker('./worker'));
+
+  const result = await thread.doWork();
+  console.log(`Result from thread: ${result}`);
+
+  await Thread.terminate(thread);
+}
+
+advancedThreadExample();
+```
+
+Ensure you explore the `threads` documentation for a more detailed understanding of creating workers and communicating between the main process and threads.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+The `@push.rocks/smartspawn` package simplifies managing subprocesses in your Node.js applications, offering straightforward APIs for starting, stopping, and communicating with child processes. Whether you need to execute a simple script in the background or leverage sophisticated multi-threading capabilities, `smartspawn` provides the tools necessary to implement these features efficiently and robustly.
+
+Remember, the examples above are starting points. Review the source code, tests, and type declarations for a comprehensive understanding of everything `@push.rocks/smartspawn` and its integrated packages can do. Experiment with the library in your projects to best learn how to utilize its full potential in real-world applications.
