Otherwise it becomes a noop.\n* ignores `EINVAL` and `EPERM` errors in `chown`, `fchown` or\n  `lchown` if the user isn't root.\n* makes `lchmod` and `lchown` become noops, if not available.\n* retries reading a file if `read` results in EAGAIN error.\n\nOn Windows, it retries renaming a file for up to one second if `EACCESS`\nor `EPERM` error occurs, likely because antivirus software has locked\nthe directory.\n\n## USAGE\n\n```javascript\n// use just like fs\nvar fs = require('graceful-fs')\n\n// now go and do stuff with it...\nfs.readFileSync('some-file-or-whatever')\n```\n","readmeFilename":"README.md","bugs":{"url":"https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs/issues"},"homepage":"https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs","_id":"graceful-fs@3.0.8","_shasum":"ce813e725fa82f7e6147d51c9a5ca68270551c22","_from":"https://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs/-/graceful-fs-3.0.8.tgz","_resolved":"https://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs/-/graceful-fs-3.0.8.tgz"}
