Node.js process.getuid() Method

Node.js process.hasUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback() Method

The process.getuid() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the process module which is used to get the numerical user identity of the Node.js process.

Syntax:

process.getuid()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method returns an integer value specifying the numerical user identity of the Node.js process.

Note: This method will only work on POSIX platforms. Not available on windows or android platforms so will cause an error i.e. TypeError, getuid is not a function.

Below examples illustrate the use of process.getuid() method in Node.js:

Example 1:

// Node.js program to demonstrate the      
// process.getuid() method   
   
// Include process module 
const process = require('process'); 
  
// Printing the numerical user  
// identity of the Node.js process 
console.log(process.getuid()); 

Output:

Example 2:

// Node.js program to demonstrate the      
// process.getuid() method   
   
// Include process module 
const process = require('process'); 
  
// Check whether the method exists or not 
if (process.getuid) { 
    
  // Printing getuid() value 
  console.log("The numerical user identity "
            + "of the Node.js process: "
            + process.getuid()); 
} 

Output:

The numerical user identity of the Node.js process: 6693036

Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js command.
