## `process.availableV8Flags`

<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->

> Stability: 1 - Experimental
* {Set}

The `process.availableV8Flags` property is a special, read-only `Set` of
command-line flags. If a user supplies one or more of these flags, Node.js will
pass the flags through to V8. These flags are not supported by Node.js. Avoid
using these flags if at all possible. They may or may not work correctly, and
their behavior can change in breaking ways in any Node.js release.

`process.availableV8lags` extends `Set`, but overrides `Set.prototype.has` to
recognize several different possible flag representations.
`process.availableV8Flags.has()` will return `true` in the following cases:

* Flags may omit leading single (`-`) or double (`--`) dashes.
* Flags may replace one or more non-leading dashes for an underscore, or vice
versa.
* Flags may contain one or more equals (`=`) characters and all
characters after and including the first equals will be ignored.

When iterating over `process.availableV8Flags`, flags will appear only once.
Each will begin with one or more dashes. Flags will contain underscores instead
of non-leading dashes.

```mjs
import { availableV8Flags } from 'process';

availableV8Flags.forEach((flag) => {
// -r
// --inspect-brk
// --abort_on_uncaught_exception
// ...
});
```

```cjs
const { availableV8Flags } = require('process');

availableV8Flags.forEach((flag) => {
// -r
// --inspect-brk
// --abort_on_uncaught_exception
// ...
});
```

The methods `add()`, `clear()`, and `delete()` of `process.availableV8Flags` do
nothing.
