`require.main.filename` is great for figuring out the entry
|
|
point for the current application. This can be combined with a module like
|
|
[pkg-conf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pkg-conf) to, _as if by magic_, load
|
|
top-level configuration.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, `require.main.filename` sometimes fails when an application is
|
|
executed with an alternative process manager, e.g., [iisnode](https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode).
|
|
|
|
`require-main-filename` is a shim that addresses this problem.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var main = require('require-main-filename')()
|
|
// use main as an alternative to require.main.filename.
|
|
```
