## Global Objects
These object are available in the global scope and can be accessed from anywhere.
### global
The global namespace object.
In browsers, the top-level scope is the global scope. That means that in
browsers if you're in the global scope `var something` will define a global
variable. In Node this is different. The top-level scope is not the global
scope; `var something` inside a Node module will be local to that module.
### process
14 years ago
The process object. See the 'process object' section.
### require()
14 years ago
To require modules. See the 'Modules' section.
### require.resolve()
Use the internal `require()` machinery to look up the location of a module,
but rather than loading the module, just return the resolved filename.
### require.paths
An array of search paths for `require()`. This array can be modified to add
custom paths.
Example: add a new path to the beginning of the search list
require.paths.unshift('/usr/local/node');
### __filename
The filename of the script being executed. This is the absolute path, and not necessarily
the same filename passed in as a command line argument.
Example: running `node example.js` from `/Users/mjr`
console.log(__filename);
// /Users/mjr/example.js
### __dirname
The dirname of the script being executed.
Example: running `node example.js` from `/Users/mjr`
console.log(__dirname);
// /Users/mjr
### module
A reference to the current module. In particular
`module.exports` is the same as the `exports` object. See `src/node.js`
for more information.
