- # move-concurrently
-
- Move files and directories.
-
- ```
- const move = require('move-concurrently')
- move('/path/to/thing', '/new/path/thing'), err => {
- if (err) throw err
- // thing is now moved!
- })
- ```
-
- Uses `rename` to move things as fast as possible.
-
- If you `move` across devices or on filesystems that don't support renaming
- large directories. That is, situations that result in `rename` returning
- the `EXDEV` error, then `move` will fallback to copy + delete.
-
- When recursively copying directories it will first try to rename the
- contents before falling back to copying. While this will be slightly slower
- in true cross-device scenarios, it is MUCH faster in cases where the
- filesystem can't handle directory renames.
-
- When copying ownership is maintained when running as root. Permissions are
- always maintained. On Windows, if symlinks are unavailable then junctions
- will be used.
-
- ## INTERFACE
-
- ### move(from, to, options) → Promise
-
- Recursively moves `from` to `to` and resolves its promise when finished.
- If `to` already exists then the promise will be rejected with an `EEXIST`
- error.
-
- Starts by trying to rename `from` to `to`.
-
- Options are:
-
- * maxConcurrency – (Default: `1`) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once.
- * isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
- an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
- fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
-
- Options can also include dependency injection:
-
- * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
- * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use. Can be used
- to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
- * writeStreamAtomic - (Default: `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
- implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use. Used to inject a mock.
- * getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
