# fs-write-stream-atomic

Like `fs.createWriteStream(...)`, but atomic.

Writes to a tmp file and does an atomic `fs.rename` to move it into
place when it's done.

First rule of debugging: **It's always a race condition.**

## USAGE

```javascript
var fsWriteStreamAtomic = require('fs-write-stream-atomic')
// options are optional.
var write = fsWriteStreamAtomic('output.txt', options)
var read = fs.createReadStream('input.txt')
read.pipe(write)

// When the write stream emits a 'finish' or 'close' event,
// you can be sure that it is moved into place, and contains
// all the bytes that were written to it, even if something else
// was writing to `output.txt` at the same time.
```
