Usage

hasbin(binaryName, callback)

Check whether a binary exists on one of the paths in process.env.PATH. Calls back with true if it does.

// Arguments
binaryName = String
callback = Function(Boolean)
// Example
hasbin('node', function (result) {
    // result === true
});

hasbin.sync(binaryName)

Synchronous hasbin.

// Arguments
binaryName = String
return Boolean
// Example
result = hasbin.sync('node');

hasbin.all(binaryNames, callback)

Check whether all of a set of binaries exist on one of the paths in process.env.PATH. Calls back with true if all of the binaries do. Aliased as hasbin.every.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
callback = Function(Boolean)
// Example
hasbin.all(['node', 'npm'], function (result) {
    // result === true
});

hasbin.all.sync(binaryNames)

Synchronous hasbin.all. Aliased as hasbin.every.sync.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
return Boolean
// Example
result = hasbin.all.sync(['node', 'npm']);

hasbin.some(binaryNames, callback)

Check whether at least one of a set of binaries exists on one of the paths in process.env.PATH. Calls back with true if at least one of the binaries does. Aliased as hasbin.any.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
callback = Function(Boolean)
// Example
hasbin.some(['node', 'npm'], function (result) {
    // result === true
});

hasbin.some.sync(binaryNames)

Synchronous hasbin.some. Aliased as hasbin.any.sync.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
return Boolean
// Example
result = hasbin.some.sync(['node', 'npm']);

hasbin.first(binaryNames, callback)

Checks the list of binaryNames to find the first binary that exists on one of the paths in process.env.PATH. Calls back with the name of the first matched binary if one exists and false otherwise.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
callback = Function(String|false)
// Example
hasbin.first(['node', 'npm'], function (result) {
    // result === 'node'
});

hasbin.first.sync(binaryNames)

Synchronous hasbin.first.

// Arguments
binaryNames = Array(String)
return String|false
// Example
result = hasbin.first.sync(['node', 'npm']);
