.SH 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.

.SH OPTIONS

-v, --version print node's version

-e, --eval script evaluate script

-p, --print print result of --eval

-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)

.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

.IP NODE_PATH

\':\'\-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.

.IP NODE_DISABLE_COLORS

If set to 1 then colors will not be used in the REPL.

.IP NODE_ICU_DATA

Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data when compiled

with small-icu support.

.IP 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.
