Viewing File: README.md

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.
