# ncp - Asynchronous recursive file & directory copying
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/AvianFlu/ncp.png)](http://travis-ci.org/AvianFlu/ncp)
Think `cp -r`, but pure node, and asynchronous. `ncp` can be used both as a CLI tool and programmatically.
## Command Line usage
Usage is simple: `ncp [source] [dest] [--limit=concurrency limit]
[--filter=filter] --stopOnErr`
The 'filter' is a Regular Expression - matched files will be copied.
The 'concurrency limit' is an integer that represents how many pending file system requests `ncp` has at a time.
'stoponerr' is a boolean flag that will tell `ncp` to stop immediately if any
errors arise, rather than attempting to continue while logging errors. The default behavior is to complete as many copies as possible, logging errors along the way.
If there are no errors, `ncp` will output `done.` when complete. If there are errors, the error messages will be logged to `stdout` and to `./ncp-debug.log`, and the copy operation will attempt to continue.
## Programmatic usage
Programmatic usage of `ncp` is just as simple. The only argument to the completion callback is a possible error.
```javascript
var ncp = require('ncp').ncp;
ncp.limit = 16;
ncp(source, destination, function (err) {
if (err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log('done!');
});
```
You can also call ncp like `ncp(source, destination, options, callback)`.
`options` should be a dictionary. Currently, such options are available:
* `options.filter` - a `RegExp` instance, against which each file name is
tested to determine whether to copy it or not, or a function taking single
parameter: copied file name, returning `true` or `false`, determining
whether to copy file or not.
* `options.transform` - a function: `function (read, write) { read.pipe(write) }`
used to apply streaming transforms while copying.
* `options.clobber` - boolean=true. if set to false, `ncp` will not overwrite
destination files that already exist.
* `options.dereference` - boolean=false. If set to true, `ncp` will follow symbolic
links. For example, a symlink in the source tree pointing to a regular file
will become a regular file in the destination tree. Broken symlinks will result in
errors.
* `options.stopOnErr` - boolean=false. If set to true, `ncp` will behave like `cp -r`,
and stop on the first error it encounters. By default, `ncp` continues copying, logging all
errors and returning an array.
* `options.errs` - stream. If `options.stopOnErr` is `false`, a stream can be provided, and errors will be written to this stream.
