graceful-fs.js

// from: https://github.com/isaacs/npm/raw/master/lib/utils/graceful-fs.js

// wrapper around the non-sync fs functions to gracefully handle
// having too many file descriptors open.  Note that this is
// *only* possible because async patterns let one interject timeouts
// and other cleverness anywhere in the process without disrupting
// anything else.
