ARGV

Array containing command-line arguments passed when launching the calling process.

var execPath = ARGV[ 0 ];
// e.g., returns '/usr/local/bin/node'

Notes

  • The first element is the absolute pathname of the executable that started the calling process.
  • The second element is the path of the executed file.
  • Any additional elements are additional command-line arguments.
  • In browser environments, ARGV is an empty array.
  • Modifications to ARGV are local to the process in which ARGV is modified.
  • Be careful when modifying command-line arguments as the argument array represents shared state. Accordingly, modifications affect all command-line argument consumers.

Examples

var ARGV = require( '@stdlib/process/argv' );

console.log( ARGV );
// => [...]
