3The [UNIX command](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)) `rm -rf` for node.
4
5Install with `npm install rimraf`, or just drop rimraf.js somewhere.

7## API
8
9`rimraf(f, [opts], callback)`
10
11The first parameter will be interpreted as a globbing pattern for files. If you
12want to disable globbing you can do so with `opts.disableGlob` (defaults to
13`false`). This might be handy, for instance, if you have filenames that contain
14globbing wildcard characters.
15
16The callback will be called with an error if there is one. Certain
17errors are handled for you:
18
19* Windows: `EBUSY` and `ENOTEMPTY` - rimraf will back off a maximum of
20 `opts.maxBusyTries` times before giving up, adding 100ms of wait
21 between each attempt. The default `maxBusyTries` is 3.
22* `ENOENT` - If the file doesn't exist, rimraf will return
23 successfully, since your desired outcome is already the case.
24* `EMFILE` - Since `readdir` requires opening a file descriptor, it's
25 possible to hit `EMFILE` if too many file descriptors are in use.
26 In the sync case, there's nothing to be done for this. But in the
27 async case, rimraf will gradually back off with timeouts up to
28 `opts.emfileWait` ms, which defaults to 1000.
29
30## options
31
32* unlink, chmod, stat, lstat, rmdir, readdir,
33 unlinkSync, chmodSync, statSync, lstatSync, rmdirSync, readdirSync
34
35 In order to use a custom file system library, you can override
36 specific fs functions on the options object.
37
38 If any of these functions are present on the options object, then
39 the supplied function will be used instead of the default fs
40 method.
41
42 Sync methods are only relevant for `rimraf.sync()`, of course.
43
44 For example:
45
46 ```javascript
47 var myCustomFS = require('some-custom-fs')
48
49 rimraf('some-thing', myCustomFS, callback)
50 ```
51
52* maxBusyTries
53
54 If an `EBUSY`, `ENOTEMPTY`, or `EPERM` error code is encountered
55 on Windows systems, then rimraf will retry with a linear backoff
56 wait of 100ms longer on each try. The default maxBusyTries is 3.
57
58 Only relevant for async usage.
59
60* emfileWait
61
62 If an `EMFILE` error is encountered, then rimraf will retry
63 repeatedly with a linear backoff of 1ms longer on each try, until
64 the timeout counter hits this max. The default limit is 1000.
65
66 If you repeatedly encounter `EMFILE` errors, then consider using
67 [graceful-fs](http://npm.im/graceful-fs) in your program.
68
69 Only relevant for async usage.
70
71* glob
72
73 Set to `false` to disable [glob](http://npm.im/glob) pattern
74 matching.
75
76 Set to an object to pass options to the glob module. The default
77 glob options are `{ nosort: true, silent: true }`.
78
79 Glob version 6 is used in this module.
80
81 Relevant for both sync and async usage.
82
83* disableGlob
84
85 Set to any non-falsey value to disable globbing entirely.
86 (Equivalent to setting `glob: false`.)
87
88## rimraf.sync
89
90It can remove stuff synchronously, too. But that's not so good. Use
91the async API. It's better.
92
93## CLI
94
95If installed with `npm install rimraf -g` it can be used as a global
96command `rimraf <path> [<path> ...]` which is useful for cross platform support.
97
98## mkdirp
99
100If you need to create a directory recursively, check out
101[mkdirp](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp).
