mkdirp, but chown to the owner of the containing folder if possible and necessary

Package Exports

  • mkdirp-infer-owner

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mkdirp-infer-owner) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

mkdirp-infer-owner

mkdirp, but chown to the owner of the containing folder if possible and necessary.

That is, on Windows and when running as non-root, it's exactly the same as mkdirp.

When running as root on non-Windows systems, it uses infer-owner to find the owner of the containing folder, and then chownr to set the ownership of the created folder to that same uid/gid.

This is used by npm to prevent root-owned files and folders from showing up in your home directory (either in node_modules or in the ~/.npm cache) when running as root.
