Below examples illustrate the use of process.execPath property in Node.js:
Example 1:
javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // process.execPath property // Include process module const process = require( 'process' ); // Printing process.execPath console.log(process.execPath); |
Output:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
Example 2:
javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // process.execPath property // Include process module const process = require( 'process' ); // Include path module const path = require( 'path' ); // Printing process.execPath var execpath = process.execPath console.log(execpath); // Separated directories and file console.log(execpath.split(path.sep)); |
Output:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe [ 'C:', 'Program Files', 'nodejs', 'node.exe' ]
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js command.
