NAME
nodejs - Server-side JavaScript
SYNOPSIS
nodejs [ -v ] [ --debug | --debug-brk ] [ --v8-options ]
[ -e command | script.js ] [ arguments ]
Execute without arguments to start the REPL.
DESCRIPTION
Node.js is a set of libraries for JavaScript which allows it to be used outside of the
browser. It is primarily focused on creating simple, easy to build network clients and
servers.
OPTIONS
-v, --version print node's version
-e, --eval script evaluate script
-p, --print print result of --eval
-c, --check syntax check script without executing
-i, --interactive always enter the REPL even if stdin
does not appear to be a terminal
-r, --require module to preload at startup
--no-deprecation silence deprecation warnings
--trace-deprecation show stack traces on deprecations
--throw-deprecation throw errors on deprecations
--track-heap-objects track heap object allocations for heap snapshots
--v8-options print v8 command line options
--tls-cipher-list=list use an alternative default TLS cipher list
(available only when Node.js is built with
OpenSSL and crypto support enabled)
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NODE_PATH
´:´-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.
NODE_DISABLE_COLORS
If set to 1 then colors will not be used in the REPL.
NODE_ICU_DATA
Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data when compiled with
small-icu support.
NODE_REPL_HISTORY
Path to the file used to store the persistent REPL history. The default path is
~/.node_repl_history, which is overridden by this variable. Setting the value to an
empty string ("") disables persistent REPL history.
