.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.

|
|
underscores (\fB_\fR).
|
|
|

\fB./configure \-\-openssl\-fips\fR)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|

.BR \-\-force\-fips
|
|
|
|
|
Force FIPS-compliant crypto on startup. (Cannot be disabled from script code.)

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.BR \-\-openssl\-config =\fIfile\fR
|
|
|
|
|
Load an OpenSSL configuration file on startup. Among other uses, this can be

|
used to enable FIPS-compliant crypto if Node.js is built with
|
|
|
|
|
\fB./configure \-\-openssl\-fips\fR.

.TP
|

.BR \-\-use\-openssl\-ca,\-\-use\-bundled\-ca
|
|
|
|
|
Use OpenSSL's default CA store or use bundled Mozilla CA store as supplied by
|
|
|
|
|
current Node.js version. The default store is selectable at build-time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using OpenSSL store allows for external modifications of the store. For most
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and BSD distributions, this store is maintained by the distribution
|
|
|
|
|
maintainers and system administrators. OpenSSL CA store location is dependent on
|
|
|
|
|
configuration of the OpenSSL library but this can be altered at runtime using
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bundled CA store, as supplied by Node.js, is a snapshot of Mozilla CA store
|
|
|
|
|
that is fixed at release time. It is identical on all supported platforms.

.TP

|
|
.BR \-\fR
|
|
|
|
|
Alias for stdin, analogous to the use of - in other command line utilities,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that the script will be read from stdin, and the rest of the options
|
|
|
|
|
are passed to that script.

|
|
|
|
|
|

.TP

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

If no script filename or eval/print script is supplied prior to this, then
|
|
|
|
|
the next argument will be used as a script filename.

extra certificates in \fIfile\fR. The file should consist of one or more

trusted certificates in PEM format. A message will be emitted (once) with

\fBprocess.emitWarning()\fR if the file is missing or misformatted, but any

as if they had been specified on the command line before the actual command line
|
|
|
|

(so they can be overridden). Node will exit with an error if an option that is

is \fB~/.node_repl_history\fR, which is overridden by this variable. Setting the

Load an OpenSSL configuration file on startup. Among other uses, this can be
