| # isexe |
| |
| Minimal module to check if a file is executable, and a normal file. |
| |
| Uses `fs.stat` and tests against the `PATHEXT` environment variable on |
| Windows. |
| |
| ## USAGE |
| |
| ```javascript |
| var isexe = require('isexe') |
| isexe('some-file-name', function (err, isExe) { |
| if (err) { |
| console.error('probably file does not exist or something', err) |
| } else if (isExe) { |
| console.error('this thing can be run') |
| } else { |
| console.error('cannot be run') |
| } |
| }) |
| |
| // same thing but synchronous, throws errors |
| var isExe = isexe.sync('some-file-name') |
| |
| // treat errors as just "not executable" |
| isexe('maybe-missing-file', { ignoreErrors: true }, callback) |
| var isExe = isexe.sync('maybe-missing-file', { ignoreErrors: true }) |
| ``` |
| |
| ## API |
| |
| ### `isexe(path, [options], [callback])` |
| |
| Check if the path is executable. If no callback provided, and a |
| global `Promise` object is available, then a Promise will be returned. |
| |
| Will raise whatever errors may be raised by `fs.stat`, unless |
| `options.ignoreErrors` is set to true. |
| |
| ### `isexe.sync(path, [options])` |
| |
| Same as `isexe` but returns the value and throws any errors raised. |
| |
| ### Options |
| |
| * `ignoreErrors` Treat all errors as "no, this is not executable", but |
| don't raise them. |
| * `uid` Number to use as the user id |
| * `gid` Number to use as the group id |
| * `pathExt` List of path extensions to use instead of `PATHEXT` |
| environment variable on Windows. |
