How node.js get the Linux release version?

How can I get linux release version? For example, when my code run on a CentOS linux, i could get 'CentOS', if Ubuntu get 'Ubuntu'. I have seen the os module node it self, but can not find any api of this.

It seems that nothing in the OS module exists to identify the linux distribution. You can get it this way:

exec('cat /etc/*release | grep -E ^NAME', function(error, stdout, stderr) {
    //stdout contains NAME="CentOS Linux", NAME=Fedora depending, ...
    //parse the string to get what you want
});
