Features

• Performs filesystem operations "gently". Please see details in the API specs below for a more precise definition of "gently".

API

> rm(target, opts, cb)

Will delete all directories between target and opts.base, as long as they are empty. That is, if target is /a/b/c/d/e and base is /a/b, but /a/b/c has other files besides the d directory inside of it, /a/b/c will remain.

Example

rm(target, opts, cb)

> link(from, to, opts, cb)

If from is a real directory, and from is not the same directory as to, will symlink from to to, while also gently rming the to directory, and then call the callback. Otherwise, will call callback with an Error.

Example

link(from, to, opts, cb)

> linkIfExists(from, to, opts, cb)

Performs the same operation as link, except does nothing when from is the same as to, and calls the callback.

Example

linkIfExists(from, to, opts, cb)
