## Pass CLI arguments to Node.js

To pass arguments directly to Node.js process, you can use the `--node-args` option. All other flags and options will be received by the webpack-cli.

For example, to increase the memory limit of Node.js process to 4 GB

```bash
webpack --node-args="--max-old-space-size=4096"
```

Also, you can pass multiple options to Node.js process

```bash
webpack --node-args="--max-old-space-size=4096" --node-args="-r /path/to/preload/file.js"
```
