NAME
       node - Server-side JavaScript runtime

SYNOPSIS
       node [options] [v8 options] [script.js | -e "script"] [arguments]
       node debug [script.js | -e "script" | <host>:<port>] ...
       node [--v8-options]

       Execute without arguments to start the REPL.

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.

OPTIONS
       -v, --version
	      Print node's version.

       -h, --help
	      Print  node  command line options.  The output of this option is
	      less detailed than this document.

       -e, --eval "script"
	      Evaluate the following argument as JavaScript.

       -p, --print "script"
	      Identical to -e but prints the result.

       -c, --check
	      Syntax check the script without executing.

       -i, --interactive
	      Opens the REPL even if stdin does not appear to be a terminal.

       -r, --require module
	      Preload the specified module at startup.	Follows  `require()`'s
	      module  resolution rules. module may be either a path to a file,
	      or a node module name.

       --no-deprecation
	      Silence deprecation warnings.

       --trace-deprecation
	      Print stack traces for deprecations.

       --throw-deprecation
	      Throw errors for deprecations.

       --trace-sync-io
	      Prints a stack trace whenever synchronous I/O is detected  after
	      the first turn of the event loop.

       --track-heap-objects
	      Track heap object allocations for heap snapshots.

       --zero-fill-buffers
	      Automatically  zero-fills  all  newly allocated Buffer and Slow-
	      Buffer instances.

       --prof-process
	      Process v8 profiler output generated using the v8 option --prof

       --v8-options
	      Print v8 command line options.

       --v8-pool-size=num
	      Set v8's thread pool size which will be used to  allocate  back-
	      ground  jobs.   If  set  to 0 then v8 will choose an appropriate
	      size of the thread pool based on the number  of  online  proces-
	      sors.  If  the  value  provided is larger than v8's max then the
	      largest value will be chosen.

       --tls-cipher-list=list
	      Specify  an  alternative	default  TLS  cipher  list.  (Requires
	      Node.js to be built with crypto support. (Default))

       --enable-fips
	      Enable FIPS-compliant crypto at startup. (Requires Node.js to be
	      built with ./configure --openssl-fips)

       --force-fips
	      Force FIPS-compliant crypto on startup. (Cannot be disabled from
	      script code.) (Same requirements as --enable-fips)

       --icu-data-dir=file
	      Specify ICU data load path. (overrides NODE_ICU_DATA)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       NODE_DEBUG=module[,...]
	      ','-separated  list  of  core  modules  that  should print debug
	      information.

       NODE_PATH=path[:...]
	      ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the module	search
	      path.

       NODE_DISABLE_COLORS=1
	      When set to 1 colors will not be used in the REPL.

       NODE_ICU_DATA=file
	      Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data
	      when compiled with small-icu support.

       NODE_REPL_HISTORY=file
	      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 ("" or "  ")
	      disables persistent REPL history.
