## Global Objects These object are available in the global scope and can be accessed from anywhere. ### global The global namespace object. ### process The process object. See the `'process object'` section. ### require() 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.
