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