That raises +new and platform-specific errors and cannot handle long or excessively +symlink-looping paths. + +This module handles those cases by detecting the new errors and +falling back to the JavaScript implementation. On versions of Node +prior to v6, it has no effect. + +## USAGE + +```js +var rp = require('fs.realpath') + +// async version +rp.realpath(someLongAndLoopingPath, function (er, real) { + // the ELOOP was handled, but it was a bit slower +}) + +// sync version +var real = rp.realpathSync(someLongAndLoopingPath) + +// monkeypatch at your own risk! +// This replaces the fs.realpath/fs.realpathSync builtins +rp.monkeypatch() + +// un-do the monkeypatching +rp.unmonkeypatch() +``` |
