Fixes usage of global object 'Buffer' in lib/* files by ensuring that
each file does an explicit require('buffer').Buffer. Previously, when
running a repl, due to usage of global 'Buffer', any redefinition of
Buffer would cause a crash eg var Buffer = {}.

Currently, if fstat() fails in readFile(), the callback
is invoked without closing the file. This commit closes
the file before calling back.
Closes#7697
Even if stdio streams are opened as file streams, we should not ever try
to close them. This could be accomplished by passing `autoClose: false`
in options on their creation.
fs.truncate() and its synchronous sibling are implemented in terms of
open() + ftruncate(). Unfortunately, it opened the target file with
mode 'w' a.k.a. 'write-only and create or truncate at open'.
The subsequent call to ftruncate() then moved the end-of-file pointer
from zero to the requested offset with the net result of a file that's
neatly truncated at the right offset and filled with zero bytes only.
This bug was introduced in commit 168a5557 but in fairness, before that
commit fs.truncate() worked like fs.ftruncate() so it seems we've never
had a working fs.truncate() until now.
Fixes#6233.
Commit a804347 makes fs function rethrow errors when the callback is
omitted. While the right thing to do, it's a change from the old v0.8
behavior where such errors were silently ignored.
To give users time to upgrade, temporarily disable that and replace it
with a function that warns once about the deprecated behavior.
Close#5005
Now that highWaterMark increases when there are large reads, this
greatly reduces the number of calls necessary to _read(size), assuming
that _read actually respects the size argument.
Ability to return just the length of listeners for a given type, using
EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event). This will be a lot cheaper
than creating a copy of the listeners array just to check its length.
This makes it so that `stream.push(chunk)` is the only way to signal the
end of reading, removing the confusing disparity between the
callback-style _read method, and the fact that most real-world streams
do not have a 1:1 corollation between the "please give me data" event,
and the actual arrival of a chunk of data.
It is still possible, of course, to implement a `CallbackReadable` on
top of this. Simply provide a method like this as the callback:
function readCallback(er, chunk) {
if (er)
stream.emit('error', er);
else
stream.push(chunk);
}
However, *only* fs streams actually would behave in this way, so it
makes not a lot of sense to make TCP, TLS, HTTP, and all the rest have
to bend into this uncomfortable paradigm.
It seems like a good idea on the face of it, but lowWaterMarks are
actually not useful, and in practice should always be set to zero.
It would be worthwhile for writers if we actually did some kind of
writev() type of thing, but actually this just delays calling write()
and the overhead of doing a bunch of Buffer copies is not worth the
slight benefit of calling write() fewer times.
This increases fs.WriteStream throughput dramatically by removing the
"higher default water marks" for fs.WriteStream.
Also includes a benchmark. Current performance is significantly higher
than v0.8 for strings at all tested levels except size=1. Buffer
performance is still lackluster.
Further improvement in the stream.Writable base class is required, but
this is a start.
Fix an exception that was raised when the WriteStream was closed
immediately after creating it:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'fd' of undefined
at WriteStream.close (fs.js:1537:18)
<snip>
Avoid the TypeError and make sure the file descriptor is closed.
Fixes#4745.
Make `fs.createReadStream({ end: 42 })` work.
Before this commit, it worked only when used like this:
`fs.createReadStream({ start: 0, end: 42 })` - only when `start` was specified
by the caller.
Fixes#4423.
Enable long stacktraces if NODE_DEBUG=fs is set in the environment. Only
applies to the default rethrow callback; it's to help you find places where
you forgot to pass in a callback.
Use a default callback if the user omitted one. Avoids errors like the one
below:
fs.js:777
if (err) return callback(err);
^
TypeError: object is not a function
at fs.appendFile (fs.js:777:21)
at Object.oncomplete (fs.js:297:15)
This commit fixes the behavior of fs.lchmod(), fs.lchown() and fs.readFile()
when the callback is omitted. Before, they silently swallowed errors.
Fixes#4352.
Make sure the deletion event gets reported in the following scenario:
1. Watch a file.
2. The initial stat() goes okay.
3. Something deletes the watched file.
4. The second stat() fails with ENOENT.
The second stat() translates into the first 'change' event but a logic error
stopped it from getting emitted.
Fixes#4027.
Fixes a minor oversight introduced in 168a555, resulting in the following error:
fs.js:467
return fs.ftruncateSync(path, len, callback);
^
ReferenceError: callback is not defined
at Object.fs.truncateSync (fs.js:467:40)
The destroy() method of fs.ReadStream and fs.WriteStream takes a callback.
It's a leftover from the node 0.1 days, undocumented and not part of the
streams API. Remove it.
Before this commit, `fs.unwatchFile(path)` removed *all* listeners for `path`.
The function is overloaded now: `fs.unwatchFile(path)` still removes all
listeners, but `fs.unwatchFile(path, cb)` lets you remove a specific listener.
Fixes#3660.
