<p>The <code>'beforeExit'</code> event is emitted when Node.js empties its event loop and has
no additional work to schedule. Normally, the Node.js process will exit when
there is no work scheduled, but a listener registered on the <code>'beforeExit'</code>
event can make asynchronous calls, and thereby cause the Node.js process to
continue.</p>
<p>The listener callback function is invoked with the value of
<a href="#processexitcode_1"><code>process.exitCode</code></a> passed as the only argument.</p>
<p>The <code>'beforeExit'</code> event is <em>not</em> emitted for conditions causing explicit
termination, such as calling <a href="#processexitcode"><code>process.exit()</code></a> or uncaught exceptions.</p>
<p>The <code>'beforeExit'</code> should <em>not</em> be used as an alternative to the <code>'exit'</code> event
unless the intention is to schedule additional work.</p>

<p>This is useful for tracking potential errors in an application while using the

<li><code>promise</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise" class="type"><Promise></a> The late handled promise.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>'rejectionHandled'</code> event is emitted whenever a <code>Promise</code> has been rejected
and an error handler was attached to it (using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/catch"><code>promise.catch()</code></a>, for
example) later than one turn of the Node.js event loop.</p>
<p>The <code>Promise</code> object would have previously been emitted in an
<code>'unhandledRejection'</code> event, but during the course of processing gained a
rejection handler.</p>
<p>There is no notion of a top level for a <code>Promise</code> chain at which rejections can
always be handled. Being inherently asynchronous in nature, a <code>Promise</code>
rejection can be handled at a future point in time, possibly much later than
the event loop turn it takes for the <code>'unhandledRejection'</code> event to be emitted.</p>
<p>Another way of stating this is that, unlike in synchronous code where there is
an ever-growing list of unhandled exceptions, with Promises there can be a
growing-and-shrinking list of unhandled rejections.</p>
<p>In synchronous code, the <code>'uncaughtException'</code> event is emitted when the list of
unhandled exceptions grows.</p>
<p>In asynchronous code, the <code>'unhandledRejection'</code> event is emitted when the list
of unhandled rejections grows, and the <code>'rejectionHandled'</code> event is emitted
when the list of unhandled rejections shrinks.</p>

<p>In this example, the <code>unhandledRejections</code> <code>Map</code> will grow and shrink over time,
reflecting rejections that start unhandled and then become handled. It is
possible to record such errors in an error log, either periodically (which is

<p>The <code>'uncaughtException'</code> event is emitted when an uncaught JavaScript
exception bubbles all the way back to the event loop. By default, Node.js
handles such exceptions by printing the stack trace to <code>stderr</code> and exiting
with code 1, overriding any previously set <a href="#processexitcode_1"><code>process.exitCode</code></a>.
Adding a handler for the <code>'uncaughtException'</code> event overrides this default
behavior. Alternatively, change the <a href="#processexitcode_1"><code>process.exitCode</code></a> in the
<code>'uncaughtException'</code> handler which will result in the process exiting with the
provided exit code. Otherwise, in the presence of such handler the process will
exit with 0.</p>

<p>It is possible to monitor <code>'uncaughtException'</code> events without overriding the
default behavior to exit the process by installing a
<code>'uncaughtExceptionMonitor'</code> listener.</p>
<h5>Warning: Using <code>'uncaughtException'</code> correctly<span><a class="mark" href="#warning-using-uncaughtexception-correctly" id="warning-using-uncaughtexception-correctly">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="process_warning_using_uncaughtexception_correctly"></a></h5>
<p><code>'uncaughtException'</code> is a crude mechanism for exception handling
intended to be used only as a last resort. The event <em>should not</em> be used as
an equivalent to <code>On Error Resume Next</code>. Unhandled exceptions inherently mean
that an application is in an undefined state. Attempting to resume application
code without properly recovering from the exception can cause additional
unforeseen and unpredictable issues.</p>
<p>Exceptions thrown from within the event handler will not be caught. Instead the
process will exit with a non-zero exit code and the stack trace will be printed.
This is to avoid infinite recursion.</p>
<p>Attempting to resume normally after an uncaught exception can be similar to
pulling out the power cord when upgrading a computer. Nine out of ten
times, nothing happens. But the tenth time, the system becomes corrupted.</p>
<p>The correct use of <code>'uncaughtException'</code> is to perform synchronous cleanup
of allocated resources (e.g. file descriptors, handles, etc) before shutting
down the process. <strong>It is not safe to resume normal operation after
<code>'uncaughtException'</code>.</strong></p>
<p>To restart a crashed application in a more reliable way, whether
<code>'uncaughtException'</code> is emitted or not, an external monitor should be employed
in a separate process to detect application failures and recover or restart as
needed.</p>

<p>In this example case, it is possible to track the rejection as a developer error

<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/catch"><code>.catch(() => { })</code></a> handler may be attached to
<code>resource.loaded</code>, which would prevent the <code>'unhandledRejection'</code> event from

Node.js can emit warnings whenever it detects bad coding practices that could

<p>By default, Node.js will print process warnings to <code>stderr</code>. The <code>--no-warnings</code>
command-line option can be used to suppress the default console output but the
<code>'warning'</code> event will still be emitted by the <code>process</code> object. Currently, it
is not possible to suppress specific warning types other than deprecation
warnings. To suppress deprecation warnings, check out the <a href="cli.html#--no-deprecation"><code>--no-deprecation</code></a>
flag.</p>
<p>The following example illustrates the warning that is printed to <code>stderr</code> when
too many listeners have been added to an event:</p>
<pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash">node</span>

<p>In contrast, the following example turns off the default warning output and
adds a custom handler to the <code>'warning'</code> event:</p>
<pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash">node --no-warnings</span>
<span class="hljs-meta prompt_">> </span><span class="language-bash">const p = process.on(<span class="hljs-string">'warning'</span>, (warning) => console.warn(<span class="hljs-string">'Do not do that!'</span>));</span>

<p>The <code>--trace-warnings</code> command-line option can be used to have the default
console output for warnings include the full stack trace of the warning.</p>
<p>Launching Node.js using the <code>--throw-deprecation</code> command-line flag will
cause custom deprecation warnings to be thrown as exceptions.</p>
<p>Using the <code>--trace-deprecation</code> command-line flag will cause the custom
deprecation to be printed to <code>stderr</code> along with the stack trace.</p>
<p>Using the <code>--no-deprecation</code> command-line flag will suppress all reporting
of the custom deprecation.</p>
<p>The <code>*-deprecation</code> command-line flags only affect warnings that use the name
<code>'DeprecationWarning'</code>.</p>

<p>There are no strict guidelines for warning types (as identified by the <code>name</code>
property) emitted by Node.js. New types of warnings can be added at any time.
A few of the warning types that are most common include:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'DeprecationWarning'</code> - Indicates use of a deprecated Node.js API or feature.
Such warnings must include a <code>'code'</code> property identifying the
<a href="deprecations.html">deprecation code</a>.</li>
<li><code>'ExperimentalWarning'</code> - Indicates use of an experimental Node.js API or
feature. Such features must be used with caution as they may change at any
time and are not subject to the same strict semantic-versioning and long-term
support policies as supported features.</li>
<li><code>'MaxListenersExceededWarning'</code> - Indicates that too many listeners for a
given event have been registered on either an <code>EventEmitter</code> or <code>EventTarget</code>.
This is often an indication of a memory leak.</li>
<li><code>'TimeoutOverflowWarning'</code> - Indicates that a numeric value that cannot fit
within a 32-bit signed integer has been provided to either the <code>setTimeout()</code>
or <code>setInterval()</code> functions.</li>
<li><code>'UnsupportedWarning'</code> - Indicates use of an unsupported option or feature
that will be ignored rather than treated as an error. One example is use of
the HTTP response status message when using the HTTP/2 compatibility API.</li>

<li><code>'SIGUSR1'</code> is reserved by Node.js to start the <a href="debugger.html">debugger</a>. It's possible to
install a listener but doing so might interfere with the debugger.</li>
<li><code>'SIGTERM'</code> and <code>'SIGINT'</code> have default handlers on non-Windows platforms that
reset the terminal mode before exiting with code <code>128 + signal number</code>. If one
of these signals has a listener installed, its default behavior will be
removed (Node.js will no longer exit).</li>
<li><code>'SIGPIPE'</code> is ignored by default. It can have a listener installed.</li>
<li><code>'SIGHUP'</code> is generated on Windows when the console window is closed, and on
other platforms under various similar conditions. See <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html"><code>signal(7)</code></a>. It can have a
listener installed, however Node.js will be unconditionally terminated by
Windows about 10 seconds later. On non-Windows platforms, the default
behavior of <code>SIGHUP</code> is to terminate Node.js, but once a listener has been
installed its default behavior will be removed.</li>
<li><code>'SIGTERM'</code> is not supported on Windows, it can be listened on.</li>
<li><code>'SIGINT'</code> from the terminal is supported on all platforms, and can usually be
generated with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> (though this may be configurable).
It is not generated when <a href="tty.html#readstreamsetrawmodemode">terminal raw mode</a> is enabled
and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> is used.</li>
<li><code>'SIGBREAK'</code> is delivered on Windows when <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Break</kbd> is
pressed. On non-Windows platforms, it can be listened on, but there is no way
to send or generate it.</li>
<li><code>'SIGWINCH'</code> is delivered when the console has been resized. On Windows, this
will only happen on write to the console when the cursor is being moved, or
when a readable tty is used in raw mode.</li>
<li><code>'SIGKILL'</code> cannot have a listener installed, it will unconditionally
terminate Node.js on all platforms.</li>
<li><code>'SIGSTOP'</code> cannot have a listener installed.</li>
<li><code>'SIGBUS'</code>, <code>'SIGFPE'</code>, <code>'SIGSEGV'</code>, and <code>'SIGILL'</code>, when not raised
artificially using <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/kill.2.html"><code>kill(2)</code></a>, inherently leave the process in a state from
which it is not safe to call JS listeners. Doing so might cause the process
to stop responding.</li>
<li><code>0</code> can be sent to test for the existence of a process, it has no effect if
the process exists, but will throw an error if the process does not exist.</li>
</ul>
<p>Windows does not support signals so has no equivalent to termination by signal,
but Node.js offers some emulation with <a href="#processkillpid-signal"><code>process.kill()</code></a>, and
<a href="child_process.html#subprocesskillsignal"><code>subprocess.kill()</code></a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sending <code>SIGINT</code>, <code>SIGTERM</code>, and <code>SIGKILL</code> will cause the unconditional
termination of the target process, and afterwards, subprocess will report that
the process was terminated by signal.</li>
<li>Sending signal <code>0</code> can be used as a platform independent way to test for the
existence of a process.</li>

<p>The <code>process.cpuUsage()</code> method returns the user and system CPU time usage of
the current process, in an object with properties <code>user</code> and <code>system</code>, whose
values are microsecond values (millionth of a second). These values measure time
spent in user and system code respectively, and may end up being greater than
actual elapsed time if multiple CPU cores are performing work for this process.</p>
<p>The result of a previous call to <code>process.cpuUsage()</code> can be passed as the
argument to the function, to get a diff reading.</p>

<p>The <code>process.dlopen()</code> method allows dynamically loading shared objects. It is
primarily used by <code>require()</code> to load C++ Addons, and should not be used
directly, except in special cases. In other words, <a href="globals.html#require"><code>require()</code></a> should be
preferred over <code>process.dlopen()</code> unless there are specific reasons such as
custom dlopen flags or loading from ES modules.</p>
<p>The <code>flags</code> argument is an integer that allows to specify dlopen
behavior. See the <a href="os.html#dlopen-constants"><code>os.constants.dlopen</code></a> documentation for details.</p>
<p>An important requirement when calling <code>process.dlopen()</code> is that the <code>module</code>
instance must be passed. Functions exported by the C++ Addon are then
accessible via <code>module.exports</code>.</p>
<p>The example below shows how to load a C++ Addon, named <code>local.node</code>,
that exports a <code>foo</code> function. All the symbols are loaded before
the call returns, by passing the <code>RTLD_NOW</code> constant. In this example
the constant is assumed to be available.</p>

For string type, only
integer strings (e.g.,'1') are allowed. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>0</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>process.exit()</code> method instructs Node.js to terminate the process
synchronously with an exit status of <code>code</code>. If <code>code</code> is omitted, exit uses
either the 'success' code <code>0</code> or the value of <code>process.exitCode</code> if it has been
set. Node.js will not terminate until all the <a href="#event-exit"><code>'exit'</code></a> event listeners are
called.</p>
<p>To exit with a 'failure' code:</p>
<pre class="with-41-chars"><input class="js-flavor-toggle" type="checkbox" checked aria-label="Show modern ES modules syntax"><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> { exit } <span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> <span class="hljs-string">'node:process'</span>;

<span class="hljs-title function_">exit</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1</span>);</code><button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>The shell that executed Node.js should see the exit code as <code>1</code>.</p>
<p>Calling <code>process.exit()</code> will force the process to exit as quickly as possible
even if there are still asynchronous operations pending that have not yet
completed fully, including I/O operations to <code>process.stdout</code> and
<code>process.stderr</code>.</p>
<p>In most situations, it is not actually necessary to call <code>process.exit()</code>
explicitly. The Node.js process will exit on its own <em>if there is no additional
work pending</em> in the event loop. The <code>process.exitCode</code> property can be set to
tell the process which exit code to use when the process exits gracefully.</p>
<p>For instance, the following example illustrates a <em>misuse</em> of the
<code>process.exit()</code> method that could lead to data printed to stdout being
truncated and lost:</p>
<pre class="with-41-chars"><input class="js-flavor-toggle" type="checkbox" checked aria-label="Show modern ES modules syntax"><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> { exit } <span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> <span class="hljs-string">'node:process'</span>;
<span class="hljs-comment">// This is an example of what *not* to do:</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (<span class="hljs-title function_">someConditionNotMet</span>()) {
<span class="hljs-title function_">printUsageToStdout</span>();
<span class="hljs-title function_">exit</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1</span>);

<span class="hljs-title function_">exit</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1</span>);
}</code><button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>The reason this is problematic is because writes to <code>process.stdout</code> in Node.js
are sometimes <em>asynchronous</em> and may occur over multiple ticks of the Node.js
event loop. Calling <code>process.exit()</code>, however, forces the process to exit
<em>before</em> those additional writes to <code>stdout</code> can be performed.</p>
<p>Rather than calling <code>process.exit()</code> directly, the code <em>should</em> set the
<code>process.exitCode</code> and allow the process to exit naturally by avoiding
scheduling any additional work for the event loop:</p>

<p>If it is necessary to terminate the Node.js process due to an error condition,
throwing an <em>uncaught</em> error and allowing the process to terminate accordingly
is safer than calling <code>process.exit()</code>.</p>

</ul>
<p>This function registers a callback to be called when the process emits the <code>exit</code>
event if the <code>ref</code> object was not garbage collected. If the object <code>ref</code> was garbage collected
before the <code>exit</code> event is emitted, the callback will be removed from the finalization registry,
and it will not be called on process exit.</p>
<p>Inside the callback you can release the resources allocated by the <code>ref</code> object.
Be aware that all limitations applied to the <code>beforeExit</code> event are also applied to the <code>callback</code> function,
this means that there is a possibility that the callback will not be called under special circumstances.</p>
<p>The idea of ​​this function is to help you free up resources when the starts process exiting,
but also let the object be garbage collected if it is no longer being used.</p>
<p>Eg: you can register an object that contains a buffer, you want to make sure that buffer is released
when the process exit, but if the object is garbage collected before the process exit, we no longer
need to release the buffer, so in this case we just remove the callback from the finalization registry.</p>

<p>The code above relies on the following assumptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>arrow functions are avoided</li>
<li>regular functions are recommended to be within the global context (root)</li>
</ul>
<p>Regular functions <em>could</em> reference the context where the <code>obj</code> lives, making the <code>obj</code> not garbage collectible.</p>
<p>Arrow functions will hold the previous context. Consider, for example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">class</span> <span class="hljs-title class_">Test</span> {
<span class="hljs-title function_">constructor</span>(<span class="hljs-params"></span>) {

}
<span class="hljs-title function_">dispose</span>(<span class="hljs-params"></span>) {}
}</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>It is very unlikely (not impossible) that this object will be garbage collected,
but if it is not, <code>dispose</code> will be called when <code>process.exit</code> is called.</p>
<p>Be careful and avoid relying on this feature for the disposal of critical resources,
as it is not guaranteed that the callback will be called under all circumstances.</p>

<p>This is the legacy version of <a href="#processhrtimebigint"><code>process.hrtime.bigint()</code></a>
before <code>bigint</code> was introduced in JavaScript.</p>
<p>The <code>process.hrtime()</code> method returns the current high-resolution real time
in a <code>[seconds, nanoseconds]</code> tuple <code>Array</code>, where <code>nanoseconds</code> is the
remaining part of the real time that can't be represented in second precision.</p>
<p><code>time</code> is an optional parameter that must be the result of a previous
<code>process.hrtime()</code> call to diff with the current time. If the parameter
passed in is not a tuple <code>Array</code>, a <code>TypeError</code> will be thrown. Passing in a
user-defined array instead of the result of a previous call to
<code>process.hrtime()</code> will lead to undefined behavior.</p>
<p>These times are relative to an arbitrary time in the
past, and not related to the time of day and therefore not subject to clock
drift. The primary use is for measuring performance between intervals:</p>

<p>It is very important for APIs to be either 100% synchronous or 100%
asynchronous. Consider this example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-comment">// WARNING! DO NOT USE! BAD UNSAFE HAZARD!</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword">function</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">maybeSync</span>(<span class="hljs-params">arg, cb</span>) {

}
fs.<span class="hljs-title function_">stat</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'file'</span>, cb);
}</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>This API is hazardous because in the following case:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> maybeTrue = <span class="hljs-title class_">Math</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">random</span>() > <span class="hljs-number">0.5</span>;

<p>It is not clear whether <code>foo()</code> or <code>bar()</code> will be called first.</p>

<p>The <a href="globals.html#queuemicrotaskcallback"><code>queueMicrotask()</code></a> API is an alternative to <code>process.nextTick()</code> that instead of using the
"next tick queue" defers execution of a function using the same microtask queue used to execute the
then, catch, and finally handlers of resolved promises.</p>
<p>Within Node.js, every time the "next tick queue" is drained, the microtask queue
is drained immediately after.</p>
<p>So in CJS modules <code>process.nextTick()</code> callbacks are always run before <code>queueMicrotask()</code> ones.
However since ESM modules are processed already as part of the microtask queue, there
<code>queueMicrotask()</code> callbacks are always exectued before <code>process.nextTick()</code> ones since Node.js
is already in the process of draining the microtask queue.</p>

<p>For <em>most</em> userland use cases, the <code>queueMicrotask()</code> API provides a portable
and reliable mechanism for deferring execution that works across multiple
JavaScript platform environments and should be favored over <code>process.nextTick()</code>.
In simple scenarios, <code>queueMicrotask()</code> can be a drop-in replacement for
<code>process.nextTick()</code>.</p>

<p>One note-worthy difference between the two APIs is that <code>process.nextTick()</code>
allows specifying additional values that will be passed as arguments to the
deferred function when it is called. Achieving the same result with
<code>queueMicrotask()</code> requires using either a closure or a bound function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">function</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">deferred</span>(<span class="hljs-params">a, b</span>) {

<span class="hljs-comment">// scheduled</span>
<span class="hljs-comment">// microtask 3</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>There are minor differences in the way errors raised from within the next tick
queue and microtask queue are handled. Errors thrown within a queued microtask
callback should be handled within the queued callback when possible. If they are
not, the <code>process.on('uncaughtException')</code> event handler can be used to capture
and handle the errors.</p>

</ul>
<p>An object is "refable" if it implements the Node.js "Refable protocol".
Specifically, this means that the object implements the <code>Symbol.for('nodejs.ref')</code>
and <code>Symbol.for('nodejs.unref')</code> methods. "Ref'd" objects will keep the Node.js
event loop alive, while "unref'd" objects will not. Historically, this was
implemented by using <code>ref()</code> and <code>unref()</code> methods directly on the objects.
This pattern, however, is being deprecated in favor of the "Refable protocol"
in order to better support Web Platform API types whose APIs cannot be modified
to add <code>ref()</code> and <code>unref()</code> methods but still need to support that behavior.</p>

<p><code>process.stdout</code> and <code>process.stderr</code> differ from other Node.js streams in
important ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>They are used internally by <a href="console.html#consolelogdata-args"><code>console.log()</code></a> and <a href="console.html#consoleerrordata-args"><code>console.error()</code></a>,
respectively.</li>
<li>Writes may be synchronous depending on what the stream is connected to
and whether the system is Windows or POSIX:
<ul>
<li>Files: <em>synchronous</em> on Windows and POSIX</li>
<li>TTYs (Terminals): <em>asynchronous</em> on Windows, <em>synchronous</em> on POSIX</li>
<li>Pipes (and sockets): <em>synchronous</em> on Windows, <em>asynchronous</em> on POSIX</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>These behaviors are partly for historical reasons, as changing them would
create backward incompatibility, but they are also expected by some users.</p>
<p>Synchronous writes avoid problems such as output written with <code>console.log()</code> or
<code>console.error()</code> being unexpectedly interleaved, or not written at all if
<code>process.exit()</code> is called before an asynchronous write completes. See
<a href="#processexitcode"><code>process.exit()</code></a> for more information.</p>
<p><em><strong>Warning</strong></em>: Synchronous writes block the event loop until the write has
completed. This can be near instantaneous in the case of output to a file, but
under high system load, pipes that are not being read at the receiving end, or
with slow terminals or file systems, it's possible for the event loop to be
blocked often enough and long enough to have severe negative performance
impacts. This may not be a problem when writing to an interactive terminal
session, but consider this particularly careful when doing production logging to
the process output streams.</p>
<p>To check if a stream is connected to a <a href="tty.html#tty">TTY</a> context, check the <code>isTTY</code>
property.</p>

<p>The <code>process.title</code> property returns the current process title (i.e. returns
the current value of <code>ps</code>). Assigning a new value to <code>process.title</code> modifies
the current value of <code>ps</code>.</p>
<p>When a new value is assigned, different platforms will impose different maximum
length restrictions on the title. Usually such restrictions are quite limited.
For instance, on Linux and macOS, <code>process.title</code> is limited to the size of the
binary name plus the length of the command-line arguments because setting the
<code>process.title</code> overwrites the <code>argv</code> memory of the process. Node.js v0.8
allowed for longer process title strings by also overwriting the <code>environ</code>
memory but that was potentially insecure and confusing in some (rather obscure)
cases.</p>
<p>Assigning a value to <code>process.title</code> might not result in an accurate label
within process manager applications such as macOS Activity Monitor or Windows
Services Manager.</p>

</ul>
<p>An object is "unrefable" if it implements the Node.js "Refable protocol".
Specifically, this means that the object implements the <code>Symbol.for('nodejs.ref')</code>
and <code>Symbol.for('nodejs.unref')</code> methods. "Ref'd" objects will keep the Node.js
event loop alive, while "unref'd" objects will not. Historically, this was
implemented by using <code>ref()</code> and <code>unref()</code> methods directly on the objects.
This pattern, however, is being deprecated in favor of the "Refable protocol"
in order to better support Web Platform API types whose APIs cannot be modified
to add <code>ref()</code> and <code>unref()</code> methods but still need to support that behavior.</p>

<p>The <code>process.versions</code> property returns an object listing the version strings of
Node.js and its dependencies. <code>process.versions.modules</code> indicates the current
ABI version, which is increased whenever a C++ API changes. Node.js will refuse
to load modules that were compiled against a different module ABI version.</p>

<p>Node.js will normally exit with a <code>0</code> status code when no more async
operations are pending. The following status codes are used in other
cases:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>1</code> <strong>Uncaught Fatal Exception</strong>: There was an uncaught exception,
and it was not handled by a domain or an <a href="#event-uncaughtexception"><code>'uncaughtException'</code></a> event
handler.</li>
<li><code>2</code>: Unused (reserved by Bash for builtin misuse)</li>
<li><code>3</code> <strong>Internal JavaScript Parse Error</strong>: The JavaScript source code
internal in the Node.js bootstrapping process caused a parse error. This
is extremely rare, and generally can only happen during development
of Node.js itself.</li>
<li><code>4</code> <strong>Internal JavaScript Evaluation Failure</strong>: The JavaScript
source code internal in the Node.js bootstrapping process failed to
return a function value when evaluated. This is extremely rare, and
generally can only happen during development of Node.js itself.</li>
<li><code>5</code> <strong>Fatal Error</strong>: There was a fatal unrecoverable error in V8.
Typically a message will be printed to stderr with the prefix <code>FATAL ERROR</code>.</li>
<li><code>6</code> <strong>Non-function Internal Exception Handler</strong>: There was an
uncaught exception, but the internal fatal exception handler
function was somehow set to a non-function, and could not be called.</li>
<li><code>7</code> <strong>Internal Exception Handler Run-Time Failure</strong>: There was an
uncaught exception, and the internal fatal exception handler
function itself threw an error while attempting to handle it. This
can happen, for example, if an <a href="#event-uncaughtexception"><code>'uncaughtException'</code></a> or
<code>domain.on('error')</code> handler throws an error.</li>
<li><code>8</code>: Unused. In previous versions of Node.js, exit code 8 sometimes
indicated an uncaught exception.</li>
<li><code>9</code> <strong>Invalid Argument</strong>: Either an unknown option was specified,
or an option requiring a value was provided without a value.</li>
<li><code>10</code> <strong>Internal JavaScript Run-Time Failure</strong>: The JavaScript
source code internal in the Node.js bootstrapping process threw an error
when the bootstrapping function was called. This is extremely rare,
and generally can only happen during development of Node.js itself.</li>
<li><code>12</code> <strong>Invalid Debug Argument</strong>: The <code>--inspect</code> and/or <code>--inspect-brk</code>
options were set, but the port number chosen was invalid or unavailable.</li>
<li><code>13</code> <strong>Unsettled Top-Level Await</strong>: <code>await</code> was used outside of a function
in the top-level code, but the passed <code>Promise</code> never settled.</li>
<li><code>14</code> <strong>Snapshot Failure</strong>: Node.js was started to build a V8 startup
snapshot and it failed because certain requirements of the state of
the application were not met.</li>
<li><code>>128</code> <strong>Signal Exits</strong>: If Node.js receives a fatal signal such as
<code>SIGKILL</code> or <code>SIGHUP</code>, then its exit code will be <code>128</code> plus the
value of the signal code. This is a standard POSIX practice, since
exit codes are defined to be 7-bit integers, and signal exits set
the high-order bit, and then contain the value of the signal code.
For example, signal <code>SIGABRT</code> has value <code>6</code>, so the expected exit
code will be <code>128</code> + <code>6</code>, or <code>134</code>.</li>
