Node.js Command Line Options

Node.js includes a large variety of command line options. Such tools provide many methods to execute scripts and other important run-time choices.

Let's see a list of options in the Node.js command line:

Index	Option	Description
1	v,--version	It is used to print a version of the node.
2	-h,--help	It is used to print command line options for nodes.
3	-e,--eval"script	As JavaScript it evaluates the following argument. The modules that are predefined in the REPL can be used in script as well.
4	-p, --print "script"	It is similar to -e but the result is print.
5	-c, --check	Syntax script checks without execution.
6	-i, --interactive	It opens the REPL even though stdin doesn't seem a terminal.
7	-r, --require module	It is used on startup to preload the required module. It follows the rules for module resolution in require). Node may either be the path to a file or the name of a node node.
8	--no-deprecation	Warnings of silence for the deprecation.
9	--trace-deprecation	This is used for the interpretation of deprecations stack remains.
10	--throw-deprecation	It throws the deprecations for errors.
11	--no-warnings	It silences all alerts (including deprecations) about the operation.
12	--trace-warnings	It prints stack traces (including the deprecations) for process alerts.
13	--trace-sync-io	Whenever synchronous I / o is detected after the first turn of the event loop it prints a stack trace.
14	--zero-fill-buffers	Both newly allocated buffer and slowbuffer instances are simultaneously zero-filled.
15	--track-heap-objects	It monitors allocations of heap objects to heap snapshots.
16	--prof-process	It processes output generated from the V8 profiler using the —prof method.
17	--V8-options	It prints options on command line V8.
18	--tls-cipher-list=list	It defines an alternate cipher list with the default tls. (Building node.js with crypto support (default))
19	--enable-fips	Makes fips-compliant crypto at startup. (Node.js needed to be installed with the./configure —openssl-fips function)
20	--force-fips	On startup it forces crypto compliant with fips. (Can't be disabled from script code.) (same specifications as —enable-fips)
21	--icu-data-dir=file	The ICU data load path is defined. (Overrides the icu data node)
