+# isexe
+
+Minimal module to check if a file is executable, and a normal file.
+
+Uses `fs.stat` and tests against the `PATHEXT` environment variable on
+Windows.
+
+## USAGE
+
+```javascript
+var isexe = require('isexe')
+isexe('some-file-name', function (err, isExe) {
+ if (err) {
+ console.error('probably file does not exist or something', err)
+ } else if (isExe) {
+ console.error('this thing can be run')
+ } else {
+ console.error('cannot be run')
+ }
+})
+
+// same thing but synchronous, throws errors
+var isExe = isexe.sync('some-file-name')
+
+// treat errors as just "not executable"
+isexe('maybe-missing-file', { ignoreErrors: true }, callback)
+var isExe = isexe.sync('maybe-missing-file', { ignoreErrors: true })
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `isexe(path, [options], [callback])`
+
+Check if the path is executable. If no callback provided, and a
+global `Promise` object is available, then a Promise will be returned.
+
+Will raise whatever errors may be raised by `fs.stat`, unless
+`options.ignoreErrors` is set to true.
+
+### `isexe.sync(path, [options])`
+
+Same as `isexe` but returns the value and throws any errors raised.
+
+### Options
+
+* `ignoreErrors` Treat all errors as "no, this is not executable", but
+ don't raise them.
+* `uid` Number to use as the user id
+* `gid` Number to use as the group id
+* `pathExt` List of path extensions to use instead of `PATHEXT`
+ environment variable on Windows.
