One nit: @Tanuja-Sawant, can you please update the commit log message to follow the guidelines described in the contributor's guide? |

@jasnell is this commit log fine? |

@Tanuja-Sawant ... my apologies for not being clear. I meant the actual commit log message here: e5ed61f. You can update it using |

I think the correct fd index for the IPC channel here should be fd=3, not fd=4.
Quoting the docs:
The fds 0, 1, and 2 correspond to stdin, stdout, and stderr, respectively.

Please leave the "the" before "IPC channel". Also, please add a comma after "stdout."
