OS#

Source Code:lib/os.js

The os module provides operating system-related utility methods andproperties. It can be accessed using:

os.EOL#

The operating system-specific end-of-line marker.

  • n on POSIX
  • rn on Windows
Slash sequence mac os catalina

os.arch()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the operating system CPU architecture for which the Node.js binary wascompiled. Possible values are 'arm', 'arm64', 'ia32', 'mips','mipsel', 'ppc', 'ppc64', 's390', 's390x', 'x32', and 'x64'.

The return value is equivalent to process.arch.

os.constants#

Contains commonly used operating system-specific constants for error codes,process signals, and so on. The specific constants defined are described inOS constants.

os.cpus()#

  • Returns: <Object[]>

Returns an array of objects containing information about each logical CPU core.

The properties included on each object include:

  • model<string>
  • speed<number> (in MHz)
  • times<Object>
    • user<number> The number of milliseconds the CPU has spent in user mode.
    • nice<number> The number of milliseconds the CPU has spent in nice mode.
    • sys<number> The number of milliseconds the CPU has spent in sys mode.
    • idle<number> The number of milliseconds the CPU has spent in idle mode.
    • irq<number> The number of milliseconds the CPU has spent in irq mode.

nice values are POSIX-only. On Windows, the nice values of all processorsare always 0.

os.endianness()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns a string identifying the endianness of the CPU for which the Node.jsbinary was compiled.

Possible values are 'BE' for big endian and 'LE' for little endian.

os.freemem()#

  • Returns: <integer>

Returns the amount of free system memory in bytes as an integer.

os.getPriority([pid])#

  • pid<integer> The process ID to retrieve scheduling priority for.Default:0.
  • Returns: <integer>

Returns the scheduling priority for the process specified by pid. If pid isnot provided or is 0, the priority of the current process is returned.

os.homedir()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the string path of the current user's home directory.

On POSIX, it uses the $HOME environment variable if defined. Otherwise ituses the effective UID to look up the user's home directory.

On Windows, it uses the USERPROFILE environment variable if defined.Otherwise it uses the path to the profile directory of the current user.

os.hostname()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the host name of the operating system as a string.

os.loadavg()#

  • Returns: <number[]>

Returns an array containing the 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages.

The load average is a measure of system activity calculated by the operatingsystem and expressed as a fractional number.

The load average is a Unix-specific concept. On Windows, the return value isalways [0, 0, 0].

os.networkInterfaces()#

  • Returns: <Object>

Returns an object containing network interfaces that have been assigned anetwork address.

Each key on the returned object identifies a network interface. The associatedvalue is an array of objects that each describe an assigned network address.

The properties available on the assigned network address object include:

  • address<string> The assigned IPv4 or IPv6 address
  • netmask<string> The IPv4 or IPv6 network mask
  • family<string> Either IPv4 or IPv6
  • mac<string> The MAC address of the network interface
  • internal<boolean>true if the network interface is a loopback orsimilar interface that is not remotely accessible; otherwise false
  • scopeid<number> The numeric IPv6 scope ID (only specified when familyis IPv6)
  • cidr<string> The assigned IPv4 or IPv6 address with the routing prefixin CIDR notation. If the netmask is invalid, this property is setto null.

os.platform()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns a string identifying the operating system platform. The value is setat compile time. Possible values are 'aix', 'darwin', 'freebsd','linux', 'openbsd', 'sunos', and 'win32'.

The return value is equivalent to process.platform.

The value 'android' may also be returned if Node.js is built on the Androidoperating system. Android support is experimental.

os.release()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the operating system as a string.

On POSIX systems, the operating system release is determined by callinguname(3). On Windows, GetVersionExW() is used. Seehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname#Examples for more information.

os.setPriority([pid, ]priority)#

  • pid<integer> The process ID to set scheduling priority for.Default:0.
  • priority<integer> The scheduling priority to assign to the process.

Attempts to set the scheduling priority for the process specified by pid. Ifpid is not provided or is 0, the process ID of the current process is used.

The priority input must be an integer between -20 (high priority) and 19(low priority). Due to differences between Unix priority levels and Windowspriority classes, priority is mapped to one of six priority constants inos.constants.priority. When retrieving a process priority level, this rangemapping may cause the return value to be slightly different on Windows. To avoidconfusion, set priority to one of the priority constants.

Slash

On Windows, setting priority to PRIORITY_HIGHEST requires elevated userprivileges. Otherwise the set priority will be silently reduced toPRIORITY_HIGH.

os.tmpdir()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the operating system's default directory for temporary files as astring.

os.totalmem()#

  • Returns: <integer>

Returns the total amount of system memory in bytes as an integer.

os.type()#

  • Returns: <string>

Returns the operating system name as returned by uname(3). For example, itreturns 'Linux' on Linux, 'Darwin' on macOS, and 'Windows_NT' on Windows.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname#Examples for additional informationabout the output of running uname(3) on various operating systems.

os.uptime()#

Slash Sequence Mac Os X

  • Returns: <integer>

Returns the system uptime in number of seconds.

The value returned can be inaccurate in somerare virtualization cases. The issue arises when the virtualizedguest instance shares the kernel with the host system.Due to the fact that libuv uses a syscall thatprovides host's uptime instead of guest'suptime on OpenVZ, os.uptime() may also provideerroneous result.

Please refer to https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/36244 andhttps://github.com/libuv/libuv/issues/3068 for an exploration ofthis issue, until it is resolved by libuv.

os.userInfo([options])#

  • options<Object>
    • encoding<string> Character encoding used to interpret resulting strings.If encoding is set to 'buffer', the username, shell, and homedirvalues will be Buffer instances. Default:'utf8'.
  • Returns: <Object>

Returns information about the currently effective user. On POSIX platforms,this is typically a subset of the password file. The returned object includesthe username, uid, gid, shell, and homedir. On Windows, the uid andgid fields are -1, and shell is null.

The value of homedir returned by os.userInfo() is provided by the operatingsystem. This differs from the result of os.homedir(), which queriesenvironment variables for the home directory before falling back to theoperating system response.

Throws a SystemError if a user has no username or homedir.

os.version()#

  • Returns <string>

Returns a string identifying the kernel version.

On POSIX systems, the operating system release is determined by callinguname(3). On Windows, RtlGetVersion() is used, and if it is notavailable, GetVersionExW() will be used. Seehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname#Examples for more information.
