The path.delimiter property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the path module which is used to get platform-specific path delimiter. Syntax:
path.delimiter;
Return Value: This property returns a string that represents platform specific path delimiter. The returned value is : for POSIX and ; for Windows. Below examples illustrate the use of path.delimiter in Node.js: Example 1: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   
// path.delimiter property

// Allocating path module
const path = require('path');

// Printing path.delimiter value
console.log(path.delimiter);
Output:
;
Example 2: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   
// path.delimiter property

// Allocating path module
const path = require('path');

// Allocating process module
const process = require('process');
 
// Printing path.delimiter value
var delimiter = path.delimiter;
 
console.log(process.env.PATH);
console.log(process.env.PATH.split(path.delimiter));
Output:
