Node.js process.title Property

The process.title property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the process module which is used to get and set the title of the process. Syntax:

process.title

Return Value: This property returns a string value that specifies the title of the process, current value is 'ps'. Note: Assigning the new value to this property will modify the current value. The different platforms can impose a restriction on the maximum length of process title. Below examples illustrate the use of process.title property in Node.js: Example 1: javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the    
// process.title property

// Include process module
const process = require('process');

// Printing process.title property value
console.log("PID: " + process.pid + 
      " process title is " + process.title);

Output:

PID: 8852 process title is Command Prompt - node  title_1

Example 2: javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the    
// process.title property

// Include process module
const process = require('process');

// Printing process.title property value
console.log("Before modification: PID: " + process.pid
          +" process title is " + process.title);

// Setting new process title value
process.title = "gekchosCustomProcess";

// Printing process.title value after modification
console.log("After modification: PID: " + process.pid
          + " process title is " + process.title);

Output:

Before modification: PID: 14012 process title is Command Prompt - node  title_2
After modification: PID: 14012 process title is gekchosCustomProcess

Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js command. Reference: https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_title
