Tom Gallacher 03e07d32ac src: override v8 thread defaults using cli options
Based on the conversation in #4243 this implements a way to increase
and decrease the size of the thread pool used in v8.

Currently v8 restricts the thread pool size to `kMaxThreadPoolSize`
which at this commit is (4). So it is only possible to
decrease the thread pool size at the time of this commit. However with
changes upstream this could change at a later date.
If set to 0 then v8 would choose an appropriate size of the thread pool
based on the number of online processors.

[\fB\-\-v8-options\fR]
Execute without arguments to start the REPL.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Node.js is a set of libraries for JavaScript which allows it to be used outside
of the browser. It is primarily focused on creating simple, easy to build
network clients and servers.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-v ", " \-\-version
Print node's version.
.TP
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
Print node command line options.
The output of this option is less detailed than this document.
.TP
.BR \-e ", " \-\-eval " " \fR"\fIscript\fR"
Evaluate the following argument as JavaScript.
.TP
.BR \-p ", " \-\-print " " \fR"\fIscript\fR"
Identical to \fB-e\fR but prints the result.
.TP
.BR \-c ", " \-\-check
Syntax check the script without executing.
.TP
.BR \-i ", " \-\-interactive
Opens the REPL even if stdin does not appear to be a terminal.
.TP
.BR \-r ", " \-\-require " " \fImodule\fR
Preload the specified module at startup. Follows `require()`'s module resolution
rules. \fImodule\fR may be either a path to a file, or a node module name.
.TP
.BR \-\-no\-deprecation
Silence deprecation warnings.
.TP
.BR \-\-trace\-deprecation
Print stack traces for deprecations.
.TP
.BR \-\-throw\-deprecation
Throw errors for deprecations.
.TP
.BR \-\-trace\-sync\-io
Prints a stack trace whenever synchronous I/O is detected after the first turn
of the event loop.
.TP
.BR \-\-zero\-fill\-buffers
Automatically zero-fills all newly allocated Buffer and SlowBuffer instances.
.TP
.BR \-\-track\-heap-objects
Track heap object allocations for heap snapshots.

.TP
.BR \-\-v8\-options
Print v8 command line options.
.TP
.BR \-\-v8\-pool\-size =\fInum\fR
Set v8's thread pool size which will be used to allocate background jobs.
If set to 0 then v8 will choose an appropriate size of the thread pool based
on the number of online processors. If the value provided is larger than v8's
max then the largest value will be chosen.
.TP
.BR \-\-tls\-cipher\-list =\fIlist\fR
Specify an alternative default TLS cipher list. (Requires Node.js to be built with crypto support. (Default))
.TP
.BR \-\-enable\-fips
Enable FIPS-compliant crypto at startup. (Requires Node.js to be built with \fB./configure \-\-openssl\-fips\fR)
.TP
.BR \-\-force\-fips
Force FIPS-compliant crypto on startup. (Cannot be disabled from script code.) (Same requirements as \fB\-\-enable\-fips\fR)
.TP
.BR \-\-icu\-data\-dir =\fIfile\fR
Specify ICU data load path. (overrides \fBNODE_ICU_DATA\fR)
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
.TP
.BR NODE_DEBUG =\fImodule\fR[,\fI...\fR]
\',\'\-separated list of core modules that should print debug information.
.TP
.BR NODE_PATH =\fIpath\fR[:\fI...\fR]
\':\'\-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.
.TP
.BR NODE_DISABLE_COLORS=1
When set to 1 colors will not be used in the REPL.

Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data when compiled
with small\-icu support.
.TP
.BR NODE_REPL_HISTORY =\fIfile\fR
Path to the file used to store the persistent REPL history. The default path
is ~/.node_repl_history, which is overridden by this variable. Setting the
