+# graceful-fs
+
+graceful-fs functions as a drop-in replacement for the fs module,
+making various improvements.
+
+The improvements are meant to normalize behavior across different
+platforms and environments, and to make filesystem access more
+resilient to errors.
+
+## Improvements over [fs module](http://api.nodejs.org/fs.html)
+
+graceful-fs:
+
+* Queues up `open` and `readdir` calls, and retries them once
+  something closes if there is an EMFILE error from too many file
+  descriptors.
+* fixes `lchmod` for Node versions prior to 0.6.2.
+* implements `fs.lutimes` if possible. Otherwise it becomes a noop.
+* ignores `EINVAL` and `EPERM` errors in `chown`, `fchown` or
+  `lchown` if the user isn't root.
+* makes `lchmod` and `lchown` become noops, if not available.
+* retries reading a file if `read` results in EAGAIN error.
+
+On Windows, it retries renaming a file for up to one second if `EACCESS`
+or `EPERM` error occurs, likely because antivirus software has locked
+the directory.
+
+## USAGE
+
+```javascript
+// use just like fs
+var fs = require('graceful-fs')
+
+// now go and do stuff with it...
+fs.readFileSync('some-file-or-whatever')
+```
