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. + +Please open an issue if any bugs arise.
