interoperability with non-conformant HTTP implementations. It may also allow

request smuggling and other HTTP attacks that rely on invalid headers being

accepted. Avoid using this option.

.It Fl -jitless

Disable runtime allocation of executable memory. This may be required on

some platforms for security reasons. It can also reduce attack surface on

other platforms, but the performance impact may be severe.

will be written.

.It Fl -report-on-fatalerror

The default store is selectable at build-time.

.Pp

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.

.Pp

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.

.Pp

See

.Ev SSL_CERT_DIR

and

.Ev SSL_CERT_FILE .

.It Fl -use-env-proxy

Parse proxy settings from HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/NO_PROXY environment variables and apply the setting in global HTTP/HTTPS clients.

.It Fl -use-system-ca

Use the trusted CA certificates present in the system store, in addition to the certificates in the

bundled Mozilla CA store and certificates from `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`. On Windows and macOS, it uses system APIs to

integrate additional trusted certificates. On other platforms it is similar to `--use-openssl-ca` with the difference

being that it caches the certificates on first load, and the system certificates are added in a complementary manner

without replacing certificates from other sources. This flag supersedes `--use-openssl-ca`.

.It Fl -use-largepages Ns = Ns Ar mode

Re-map the Node.js static code to large memory pages at startup. If supported on

the target system, this will cause the Node.js static code to be moved onto 2

MiB pages instead of 4 KiB pages.

.Pp

.Ar mode

must have one of the following values:

`off` (the default value, meaning do not map), `on` (map and ignore failure,

reporting it to stderr), or `silent` (map and silently ignore failure).

.It Fl -v8-options

Print V8 command-line options.

.It Fl -v8-pool-size Ns = Ns Ar num

Set V8's thread pool size which will be used to allocate background jobs.

If set to 0 then V8 will choose an appropriate size of the thread pool based on the number of online processors.

If the value provided is larger than V8's maximum, then the largest value will be chosen.

.It Fl -watch

Starts Node.js in watch mode. When in watch mode, changes in the watched files cause the Node.js process to restart.

By default, watch mode will watch the entry point and any required or imported module. Use --watch-path to specify what paths to watch.

.It Fl -watch-path

Starts Node.js in watch mode and specifies what paths to watch. When in watch mode, changes in the watched paths cause the Node.js process to restart.

This will turn off watching of required or imported modules, even when used in combination with --watch.

.It Fl -watch-kill-signal

Customizes the signal sent to the process on watch mode restarts.

.It Fl -zero-fill-buffers

.El

.Bl -tag -width 6n

.It Ev FORCE_COLOR

.Ar an empty string

to

indicate 16-color support,

.Ar 2

to indicate 256-color support, or

.Ar 3

to indicate 16 million-color support. When used and set to a supported

value, both the NO_COLOR and NODE_DISABLE_COLORS environment variables

are ignored. Any other value will result in colorized output being

disabled.

.It Ev NO_COLOR

Alias for NODE_DISABLE_COLORS

.It Ev NODE_COMPILE_CACHE Ar dir

.Sy module compile cache

for the Node.js instance.

.It Ev NODE_DEBUG Ar modules...

CAs (like VeriSign) will be extended with the extra certificates in

.Ar file .

The file should consist of one or more trusted certificates in PEM format.

.Pp

If

.Ar file

is missing or misformatted, a message will be emitted once using

.Sy process.emitWarning() ,

but any errors are otherwise ignored.

.Pp

This environment variable is ignored when `node` runs as setuid root or

has Linux file capabilities set.

.Pp

The

.Ar NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS

environment variable is only read when the Node.js process is first launched.

Changing the value at runtime using

.Ar process.env.NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS

has no effect on the current process.

.It Ev NODE_ICU_DATA Ar file

Data path for ICU (Intl object) data.

Will extend linked-in data when compiled with small-icu support.

.It Ev NODE_NO_WARNINGS

When set to

.Ar 1 ,

process warnings are silenced.

.It Ev NODE_OPTIONS Ar options...

A space-separated list of command-line

.Ar options ,

.Fl -print

or a script file.

.It Ev NODE_PATH Ar directories...

A colon-separated list of

.Ar directories

prefixed to the module search path.

Equivalent to passing

.Fl -redirect-warnings Ar file

on the command line.

.It Ev NODE_REPL_HISTORY Ar file

Path to the

.Ar file

used to store persistent REPL history.

The default path is

.Sy ~/.node_repl_history ,

which is overridden by this variable.

Setting the value to an empty string ("" or " ") will disable persistent REPL history.

.It Ev NODE_REPL_EXTERNAL_MODULE Ar file

Path to a Node.js module which will be loaded in place of the built-in REPL.

Overriding this value to an empty string (`''`) will use the built-in REPL.

.It Ev NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK

When set to

.Ar 1 ,

the check for a supported platform is skipped during Node.js startup.

Node.js might not execute correctly.

Any issues encountered on unsupported platforms will not be fixed.

.It Ev NODE_TEST_CONTEXT

When set to

.Ar 'child'

, test reporter options will be overridden and test output will be sent to stdout in the TAP format.

If any other value is provided, Node.js makes no guarantees about the reporter format used or its stability.

.It Ev NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED

When set to

.Ar 0 ,

TLS certificate validation is disabled.

.It Ev NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY

When enabled, Node.js parses the

.Ar HTTP_PROXY

,

.Ar HTTPS_PROXY

and

.Ar NO_PROXY

environment variables during startup, and tunnels requests over the specified proxy.

.Pp

This currently only affects requests sent over

.Ar fetch() .

Support for other built-in http and https methods is under way.

.It Ev NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA

Similar to

.Fl -use-system-ca .

Use the trusted CA certificates present in the system store, in addition to the certificates in the

bundled Mozilla CA store and certificates from `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`.

.It Ev NODE_V8_COVERAGE Ar dir

.Ar dir .

.It Ev OPENSSL_CONF Ar file

Among other uses, this can be used to enable FIPS-compliant crypto if Node.js is built with

.Sy ./configure --openssl-fips .

.Pp

If the

.Fl -openssl-config

command-line option is used, this environment variable is ignored.

.It Ev SSL_CERT_DIR Ar dir

If

.Fl -use-openssl-ca

is enabled, this overrides and sets OpenSSL's directory containing trusted certificates.

.It Ev SSL_CERT_FILE Ar file

If

.Fl -use-openssl-ca

is enabled, this overrides and sets OpenSSL's file containing trusted certificates.

.It Ev TZ
