										 | 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. |
