Exact list of Node core modules

Question

I am looking for a way to get an exact up-to-date list of all Node.js core modules. Is there an NPM module that supplies such a running list? Somewhere in the annals of my life

  'http2',
  '_http_agent',
  '_http_client',
  '_http_common',
  '_http_incoming',
  '_http_outgoing',
  '_http_server',
  'https',
  'inspector',
  'module',
  'net',
  'os',
  'path',
  'perf_hooks',
  'process',
  'punycode',
