| "readme": "Like FS streams, but with stat on them, and supporting directories and\nsymbolic links, as well as normal files. Also, you can use this to set\nthe stats on a file, even if you don't change its contents, or to create\na symlink, etc.\n\nSo, for example, you can \"write\" a directory, and it'll call `mkdir`. You\ncan specify a uid and gid, and it'll call `chown`. You can specify a\n`mtime` and `atime`, and it'll call `utimes`. You can call it a symlink\nand provide a `linkpath` and it'll call `symlink`.\n\nNote that it won't automatically resolve symbolic links. So, if you\ncall `fstream.Reader('/some/symlink')` then you'll get an object\nthat stats and then ends immediately (since it has no data). To follow\nsymbolic links, do this: `fstream.Reader({path:'/some/symlink', follow:\ntrue })`.\n\nThere are various checks to make sure that the bytes emitted are the\nsame as the intended size, if the size is set.\n\n## Examples\n\n```javascript\nfstream\n .Writer({ path: \"path/to/file\"\n , mode: 0755\n , size: 6\n })\n .write(\"hello\\n\")\n .end()\n```\n\nThis will create the directories if they're missing, and then write\n`hello\\n` into the file, chmod it to 0755, and assert that 6 bytes have\nbeen written when it's done.\n\n```javascript\nfstream\n .Writer({ path: \"path/to/file\"\n , mode: 0755\n , size: 6\n , flags: \"a\"\n })\n .write(\"hello\\n\")\n .end()\n```\n\nYou can pass flags in, if you want to append to a file.\n\n```javascript\nfstream\n .Writer({ path: \"path/to/symlink\"\n , linkpath: \"./file\"\n , SymbolicLink: true\n , mode: \"0755\" // octal strings supported\n })\n .end()\n```\n\nIf isSymbolicLink is a function, it'll be called, and if it returns\ntrue, then it'll treat it as a symlink. If it's not a function, then\nany truish value will make a symlink, or you can set `type:\n'SymbolicLink'`, which does the same thing.\n\nNote that the linkpath is relative to the symbolic link location, not\nthe parent dir or cwd.\n\n```javascript\nfstream\n .Reader(\"path/to/dir\")\n .pipe(fstream.Writer(\"path/to/other/dir\"))\n```\n\nThis will do like `cp -Rp path/to/dir path/to/other/dir`. If the other\ndir exists and isn't a directory, then it'll emit an error. It'll also\nset the uid, gid, mode, etc. to be identical. In this way, it's more\nlike `rsync -a` than simply a copy.\n", |
