| |
| `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. |
| ``` |
