# ncp - Asynchronous recursive file & directory copying
[](http://travis-ci.org/AvianFlu/ncp)
Think `cp -r`, but pure node, and asynchronous. `ncp` can be used both as a CLI tool and programmatically.
## Command Line usage
Usage is simple: `ncp [source] [dest] [--limit=concurrency limit]
[--filter=filter] --stopOnErr`
The 'filter' is a Regular Expression - matched files will be copied.
The 'concurrency limit' is an integer that represents how many pending file system requests `ncp` has at a time.
'stopOnErr' is a boolean flag that will tell `ncp` to stop immediately if any
errors arise, rather than attempting to continue while logging errors.
If there are no errors, `ncp` will output `done.` when complete. If there are errors, the error messages will be logged to `stdout` and to `./ncp-debug.log`, and the copy operation will attempt to continue.
## Programmatic usage
Programmatic usage of `ncp` is just as simple. The only argument to the completion callback is a possible error.
```javascript
var ncp = require('ncp').ncp;
ncp.limit = 16;
ncp(source, destination, function (err) {
if (err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log('done!');
});
```
You can also call ncp like `ncp(source, destination, options, callback)`.
`options` should be a dictionary. Currently, such options are available:
* `options.filter` - a `RegExp` instance, against which each file name is
tested to determine whether to copy it or not, or a function taking single
parameter: copied file name, returning `true` or `false`, determining
whether to copy file or not.
* `options.transform` - a function: `function (read, write) { read.pipe(write) }`
used to apply streaming transforms while copying.
* `options.clobber` - boolean=true. if set to false, `ncp` will not overwrite
destination files that already exist.
Please open an issue if any bugs arise. As always, I accept (working) pull requests, and refunds are available at `/dev/null`.
