Do not search modules from global paths.
.
.It Fl -no-warnings

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.

.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.
.

Identical to
.Fl e ,
but prints the result.
.

.Ar module
at startup.

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_DEBUG Ar modules...
Comma-separated list of core modules that should print debug information.
.
.It Ev NODE_DEBUG_NATIVE Ar modules...

process warnings are silenced.
.
.It Ev NODE_OPTIONS Ar options...
A space-separated list of command-line
.Ar options ,
which are interpreted as if they had been specified on the command line before the actual command (so they can be overridden).
Node.js will exit with an error if an option that is not allowed in the environment is used, such as

or a script file.
.
.It Ev NODE_PATH Ar directories...

Path to the
.Ar file
used to store persistent REPL history.

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
