- # 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.
