{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Some environment variables documented in the CLI docs are missing in node manpage","articleBody":"### Version\n\n24\n\n### Platform\n\n```text\nAll\n```\n\n### Subsystem\n\ndoc\n\n### What steps will reproduce the bug?\n\nRun `man node` and view the `ENVIRONMENT` section\n\nCompare it to https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#environment-variables_1 ([permalink](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/8b199eef3dd4de910a6521adc42ae611a62a19e1/doc/api/cli.md?plain=1#L3204))\n\n### How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?\n\nAlways\n\n### What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?\n\nWhatever is documented in the CLI documentation should also be documented in the node manpage\n\n### What do you see instead?\n\nThe following environment variables are missing:\n - `NODE_COMPILE_CACHE`\n - `NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE`\n - `NODE_PENDING_PIPE_INSTANCES`\n - `NODE_TEST_CONTEXT`\n - `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY`\n\n### Additional information\n\nThey need to be added in the [appropriate node.1 section](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/8b199eef3dd4de910a6521adc42ae611a62a19e1/doc/node.1#L674).\n\nAfterwords the following code, since no longer necessary, needs to be removed: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/4b4aaf921fda21c329caf349b23c0620867e4e6c/test/parallel/test-cli-node-cli-manpage-env-vars.mjs#L24-L32","author":{"url":"https://github.com/dario-piotrowicz","@type":"Person","name":"dario-piotrowicz"},"datePublished":"2025-06-29T21:58:43.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":7},"url":"https://github.com/58894/node/issues/58894"}
