What is the default stack size in Node.js?

Question

But, what is the default size? (ie how do I get to the PHP equivalent of phpinfo())

See 2ality.com/2014/04/call-stack-size.html and related question stackoverflow.com/questions/20748061/…. — Mihai8

The simple answer is that the default stack size is 492 kBytes (32-bit) and 984 kBytes (64-bit).

As commented by soyuka try this:

$ node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack_size

or

$ node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack-size

actually, never mind, it seems to be 32/64 bit differences. Though a link would be great

Link would be good or any info on how to confirm this programmatically

$ node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack_size

This seems to be outdated

node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack-size, stack-size, not stack_size..I am on node 20
