name: atomic-write version: 0.1.0.0 synopsis: Atomically write to a file description: . Atomically write to a file on POSIX-compliant systems while preserving permissions. . On most Unix systems, `mv` is an atomic operation. This makes it simple to write to a file atomically just by using the mv operation. However, this will destroy the permissions on the original file. This library does the following to preserve permissions while atomically writing to a file: . * If an original file exists, take those permissions and apply them to the temp file before `mv`ing the file into place. * If the original file does not exist, create a following with default permissions (based on the currently-active umask). . This way, when the file is `mv`'ed into place, the permissions will be the ones held by the original file. . This library is based on similar implementations found in common libraries in Ruby and Python: . * * * .
