API

vinylContents(file, callback)

Warning: Only use this if interacting with a library that can only receive strings or buffers. This loads all streaming contents into memory which can cause unexpected results for your end-users.

Takes a Vinyl file and an error-first callback. Calls the callback with an error if one occur (or if the first argument is not a Vinyl file), or the file contents if no error occurs.

If the Vinyl contents are:

• A Buffer, will be returned directly.
• A Stream, will be buffered into a BufferList and returned.
• Empty, will be undefined.
