@stdlib/process

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Process

Process utilities.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/process

Usage

var ns = require( '@stdlib/process' );

ns

Namespace containing process utilities.

var proc = ns;
// returns {...}

The namespace contains process utilities:

• ARGV: array containing command-line arguments passed when launching the calling process.
• chdir( path ): change the current working directory.
• cwd(): return the current working directory.
• ENV: object containing the user environment.
• EXEC_PATH: absolute pathname of the executable which started the current Node.js process.
• getegid(): return the effective numeric group identity of the calling process.
• geteuid(): return the effective numeric user identity of the calling process.
• getgid(): return the numeric group identity of the calling process.
• getuid(): return the numeric user identity of the calling process.
• NODE_VERSION: node version.
• stdin( [encoding,] clbk ): read data from stdin.
• umask( [mask,] [options] ): get/set the process mask.

Examples

var objectKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/keys' );
var ns = require( '@stdlib/process' );

console.log( objectKeys( ns ) );
