.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|

|
of the browser. It is primarily focused on creating simple, easy to build
|
|
network clients and servers.

max then the largest value will be chosen.
|
|
|

.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-tls\-cipher\-list =\fIlist\fR
|

|
|
with crypto support. (Default))
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-enable\-fips
|
|
Enable FIPS-compliant crypto at startup. (Requires Node.js to be built with
|
|
\fB./configure \-\-openssl\-fips\fR)
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-force\-fips

.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-openssl\-config =\fIfile\fR
|

|
\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 NodeJS 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
|
|
environmental variables.
|
|
|
|
The bundled CA store, as supplied by NodeJS, is a snapshot of Mozilla CA store
|
|
that is fixed at release time. It is identical on all supported platforms.
|
|
|
|
See \fBSSL_CERT_DIR\fR and \fBSSL_CERT_FILE\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-icu\-data\-dir =\fIfile\fR
|
|
Specify ICU data load path. (overrides \fBNODE_ICU_DATA\fR)
|
|
|
|
.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
|
|
.BR \-\-\fR
|
|
Indicate the end of node options. Pass the rest of the arguments to the script.
|
|
|
|
If no script filename or eval/print script is supplied prior to this, then
|
|
the next argument will be used as a script filename.
|
|
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_DEBUG =\fImodule\fR[,\fI...\fR]
|
|
\',\'\-separated list of core modules that should print debug information.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_DISABLE_COLORS =\fI1\fR
|
|
When set to \fI1\fR, colors will not be used in the REPL.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS =\fIfile\fR
|
|
When set, the well known "root" CAs (like VeriSign) will be extended with the
|
|
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
|
|
errors are otherwise ignored.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_ICU_DATA =\fIfile\fR
|
|
Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data when compiled
|
|
with small\-icu support.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_NO_WARNINGS =\fI1\fR
|
|
When set to \fI1\fR, process warnings are silenced.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_OPTIONS =\fIoptions...\fR
|
|
\fBoptions...\fR are interpreted 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 not allowed in the environment is used, such
|
|
as \fB-p\fR or a script file.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_PATH =\fIpath\fR[:\fI...\fR]
|
|
\':\'\-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION = \fI1\fR
|
|
When set to \fI1\fR, emit pending deprecation warnings.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_REPL_HISTORY =\fIfile\fR
|
|
Path to the file used to store the persistent REPL history. The default path
|
|
is \fB~/.node_repl_history\fR, which is overridden by this variable. Setting the
|
|
value to an empty string ("" or " ") disables persistent REPL history.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR OPENSSL_CONF = \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.
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
\fB\-\-openssl\-config\fR
|
|
command line option is used, the environment variable is ignored.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR SSL_CERT_DIR = \fIdir\fR
|
|
If \fB\-\-use\-openssl\-ca\fR is enabled, this overrides and sets OpenSSL's directory
|
|
containing trusted certificates.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR SSL_CERT_FILE = \fIfile\fR
|
|
If \fB\-\-use\-openssl\-ca\fR is enabled, this overrides and sets OpenSSL's
|
|
file containing trusted certificates.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR NODE_REDIRECT_WARNINGS=\fIfile\fR
|
|
Write process warnings to the given file instead of printing to stderr.
|
|
(equivalent to using the \-\-redirect\-warnings=\fIfile\fR command-line
|
|
argument).
