File
var File = require('vinyl');
var coffeeFile = new File({
cwd: "/",
base: "/test/",
path: "/test/file.coffee",
contents: new Buffer("test = 123")
});
constructor(options)
options.cwd
Type: String
Default: process.cwd()
options.base
Used for relative pathing. Typically where a glob starts.
Type: String
Default: options.cwd
options.path
Full path to the file.

The result of an fs.stat call. See fs.Stats for more information.
Type: fs.Stats

File contents.
Type: Buffer, Stream, or null
Default: null
isBuffer()
Returns true if file.contents is a Buffer.
isStream()
Returns true if file.contents is a Stream.
isNull()
Returns true if file.contents is null.
clone()
Returns a new File object with all attributes cloned. Custom attributes are deep-cloned.
pipe(stream[, opt])
If file.contents is a Buffer, it will write it to the stream.
If file.contents is a Stream, it will pipe it to the stream.
If file.contents is null, it will do nothing.
If opt.end is false, the destination stream will not be ended (same as node core).
Returns the stream.
inspect()
Returns a pretty String interpretation of the File. Useful for console.log.
relative
Returns path.relative for the file base and file path.
Example:
var file = new File({
cwd: "/",
base: "/test/",
path: "/test/file.coffee"
});
console.log(file.relative); // file.coffee
