## Usage

```javascript
var map = require('map-stream');
var fs = require('vinyl-fs');

var log = function(file, cb) {
  console.log(file.path);
  cb(null, file);
};

fs.src(['./js/**/*.js', '!./js/vendor/*.js'])
  .pipe(map(log))
  .pipe(fs.dest('./output'));
```

## API

### src(globs[, opt])

- Takes a glob string or an array of glob strings as the first argument.
- Possible options for the second argument:
  - cwd - Specify the working directory the folder is relative to. Default is `process.cwd()`
  - base - Specify the folder relative to the cwd. Default is where the glob begins. This is used to determine the file names when saving in `.dest()`
  - buffer - `true` or `false` if you want to buffer the file.
    - Default value is `true`
    - `false` will make file.contents a paused Stream
  - read - `true` or `false` if you want the file to be read or not. Useful for stuff like `rm`ing files.
    - Default value is `true`
    - `false` will disable writing the file to disk via `.dest()`
  - Any glob-related options are documented in [glob-stream] and [node-glob]
- Returns a Readable/Writable stream.
- On write the stream will simply pass items through.
- This stream emits matching [vinyl] File objects

### watch(globs[, opt, cb])

This is just [glob-watcher]

- Takes a glob string or an array of glob strings as the first argument.
- Possible options for the second argument:
  - Any options are passed to [gaze]
- Returns an EventEmitter
  - 'changed' event is emitted on each file change
- Optionally calls the callback on each change event

### dest(folder[, opt])

- Takes a folder path as the first argument.
- First argument can also be a function that takes in a file and returns a folder path.
- Possible options for the second argument:
  - cwd - Specify the working directory the folder is relative to. Default is `process.cwd()`
  - mode - Specify the mode the files should be created with. Default is the mode of the input file (file.stat.mode)
- Returns a Readable/Writable stream.
- On write the stream will save the [vinyl] File to disk at the folder/cwd specified.
- After writing the file to disk, it will be emitted from the stream so you can keep piping these around
- The file will be modified after being written to this stream
  - `cwd`, `base`, and `path` will be overwritten to match the folder
  - `stat.mode` will be overwritten if you used a mode parameter
  - `contents` will have it's position reset to the beginning if it is a stream
