							|  |  | ### copy(from, to, [options]) → Promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Recursively copies `from` to `to` and resolves its promise when finished. 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | If `to` already exists then the promise will be rejected with an `EEXIST`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | error.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options are:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * maxConcurrency – (Default: `1`) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options can also include dependency injection:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * writeStreamAtomic - (Default: `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## EXTENSION INTERFACE
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Ordinarily you'd only call `copy` above.  But it's possible to use it's
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | component functions directly.  This is useful if, say, you're writing
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | [move-concurently](https://npmjs.com/package/move-concurrently).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### copy.file(from, to, options) → Promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Copies an ordinary file `from` to destination `to`.  Uses
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | `fs-write-stream-atomic` to ensure that the file is either entirely copied
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | or not at all.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options are:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * writeStreamAtomic - (Default `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### copy.symlink(from, to, options) → Promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Copies a symlink `from` to destination `to`.  If you're using Windows and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | symlinking fails and what you're linking is a directory then junctions will
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | be tried instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options are:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * top - The top level the copy is being run from.  This is used to determine
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   if the symlink destination is within the set of files we're copying or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   outside it.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### copy.recurse(from, to, options) → Promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Reads all of the files in directory `from` and adds them to the `queue`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | using `recurseWith` (by default `copy.item`).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options are:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * queue - A [`run-queue`](https://npmjs.com/package/run-queue) object to add files found inside `from` to.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### copy.item(from, to, options) → Promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Copies some kind of `from` to destination `to`.  This looks at the filetype
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | and calls `copy.file`, `copy.symlink` or `copy.recurse` as appropriate.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Symlink copies are queued with a priority such that they happen after all
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | file and directory copies as you can't create a junction on windows to a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | file that doesn't exist yet.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Options are:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * top - The top level the copy is being run from.  This is used to determine
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   if the symlink destination is within the set of files we're copying or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   outside it.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * queue - The [`run-queue`](https://npmjs.com/package/run-queue) object to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   pass to `copy.recurse` if `from` is a directory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | * writeStreamAtomic - (Default `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
