Finally it renames the file back to the filename you specified. If +it encounters errors at any of these steps it will attempt to unlink the temporary file and then +pass the error back to the caller. +If multiple writes are concurrently issued to the same file, the write operations are put into a queue and serialized in the order they were called, using Promises. Native promises are used by default, but you can inject your own promise-like object with the **Promise** option. Writes to different files are still executed in parallel. + +If provided, the **chown** option requires both **uid** and **gid** properties or else +you'll get an error. If **chown** is not specified it will default to using +the owner of the previous file. To prevent chown from being ran you can +also pass `false`, in which case the file will be created with the current user's credentials. + +If **mode** is not specified, it will default to using the permissions from +an existing file, if any. Expicitly setting this to `false` remove this default, resulting +in a file created with the system default permissions. + +If options is a String, it's assumed to be the **encoding** option. The **encoding** option is ignored if **data** is a buffer. It defaults to 'utf8'. + +If the **fsync** option is **false**, writeFile will skip the final fsync call. + +Example: + +```javascript +writeFileAtomic('message.txt', 'Hello Node', {chown:{uid:100,gid:50}}, function (err) { + if (err) throw err; + console.log('It\'s saved!'); +}); +``` + +### var writeFileAtomicSync = require('write-file-atomic').sync<br>writeFileAtomicSync(filename, data, [options]) + +The synchronous version of **writeFileAtomic**. |
