-
-**VFile** is a virtual file format used by [**unified**][unified],
-a text processing umbrella (it powers [**retext**][retext] for
-natural language, [**remark**][remark] for markdown, and
-[**rehype**][rehype] for HTML). Each processors that parse, transform,
-and compile text, and need a virtual representation of files and a
-place to store [messages][] about them. Plus, they work in the browser.
-**VFile** provides these requirements at a small size, in IE 9 and up.
-
-> **VFile** is different from the excellent [**vinyl**][vinyl]
-> in that it has a smaller API, a smaller size, and focuses on
-> [messages][].
-
-VFile can be used anywhere where files need a lightweight representation.
-For example, it’s used in:
-
-* [`documentation`](https://github.com/documentationjs/documentation)
- — The documentation system for modern JavaScript
-* [`weh`](https://github.com/wehjs/weh)
- — Declarative small site generator
-* [`geojsonhint`](https://github.com/mapbox/geojsonhint)
- — Complete, fast, standards-based validation for geojson
-
-## Installation
-
-[npm][]:
-
-```bash
-npm install vfile
-```

-## Usage
-
-```js
-var vfile = require('vfile');
-
-var file = vfile({path: '~/example.txt', contents: 'Alpha *braavo* charlie.'});
-
-file.path; //=> '~/example.txt'
-file.dirname; //=> '~'
-
-file.extname = '.md';
-
-file.basename; //=> 'example.md'
-
-file.basename = 'index.text';
-
-file.history; //=> ['~/example.txt', '~/example.md', '~/index.text']
-
-file.message('`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?', {line: 1, column: 8});
-
-console.log(file.messages);
-```
-
-Yields:
-
-```js
-[ { [~/index.text:1:8: `braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?]
- message: '`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?',
- name: '~/index.text:1:8',
- file: '~/index.text',
- reason: '`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?',
- line: 1,
- column: 8,
- location: { start: [Object], end: [Object] },
- ruleId: null,
- source: null,
- fatal: false } ]
-```

-
-## Reporters
-
-The following list of projects show linting results for given virtual files.
-Reporters _must_ accept `Array.<VFile>` as their first argument, and return
-`string`. Reporters _may_ accept other values too, in which case it’s suggested
-to stick to `vfile-reporter`s interface.
-
-* [`vfile-reporter`][reporter]
- — Stylish reporter
-* [`vfile-reporter-json`](https://github.com/vfile/vfile-reporter-json)
- — JSON reporter
-* [`vfile-reporter-pretty`](https://github.com/vfile/vfile-reporter-pretty)
- — Pretty reporter
-
-## API
-
-### `VFile([options])`
-
-Create a new virtual file. If `options` is `string` or `Buffer`, treats
-it as `{contents: options}`. If `options` is a `VFile`, returns it.
-All other options are set on the newly created `vfile`.
-
-Path related properties are set in the following order (least specific
-to most specific): `history`, `path`, `basename`, `stem`, `extname`,
-`dirname`.
-
-It’s not possible to set either `dirname` or `extname` without setting
-either `history`, `path`, `basename`, or `stem` as well.
-
-###### Example
-
-```js
-vfile();
-vfile('console.log("alpha");');
-vfile(Buffer.from('exit 1'));
-vfile({path: path.join(__dirname, 'readme.md')});
-vfile({stem: 'readme', extname: '.md', dirname: __dirname});
-vfile({other: 'properties', are: 'copied', ov: {e: 'r'}});
-```
-
-### `vfile.contents`
-
-`Buffer`, `string`, `null` — Raw value.
-
-### `vfile.cwd`
-
-`string` — Base of `path`. Defaults to `process.cwd()`.
-
-### `vfile.path`
-
-`string?` — Path of `vfile`. Cannot be nullified.
-
-### `vfile.basename`
-
-`string?` — Current name (including extension) of `vfile`. Cannot
-contain path separators. Cannot be nullified either (use
-`file.path = file.dirname` instead).
-
-### `vfile.stem`
-
-`string?` — Name (without extension) of `vfile`. Cannot be nullified,
-and cannot contain path separators.
-
-### `vfile.extname`
-
-`string?` — Extension (with dot) of `vfile`. Cannot be set if
-there’s no `path` yet and cannot contain path separators.
-
-### `vfile.dirname`
-
-`string?` — Path to parent directory of `vfile`. Cannot be set if
-there’s no `path` yet.
-
-### `vfile.history`
-
-`Array.<string>` — List of file-paths the file moved between.
-
-### `vfile.messages`
-
-[`Array.<VMessage>`][message] — List of messages associated with the file.
-
-### `vfile.data`
-
-`Object` — Place to store custom information. It’s OK to store custom
-data directly on the `vfile`, moving it to `data` gives a _little_ more
-privacy.
-
-### `VFile#toString([encoding])`
-
-Convert contents of `vfile` to string. If `contents` is a buffer,
-`encoding` is used to stringify buffers (default: `'utf8'`).
-
-### `VFile#message(reason[, position][, origin])`
-
-Associates a message with the file, where `fatal` is set to `false`.
-Constructs a new [`VMessage`][vmessage] and adds it to
-[`vfile.messages`][messages].
-
-##### Returns
-
-[`VMessage`][vmessage].
-
-### `VFile#info(reason[, position][, origin])`
-
-Associates an informational message with the file, where `fatal` is set to
-`null`. Calls [`#message()`][message] internally.
-
-##### Returns
-
-[`VMessage`][vmessage].
-
-### `VFile#fail(reason[, position][, origin])`
-
-Associates a fatal message with the file, then immediately throws it.
-Note: fatal errors mean a file is no longer processable.
-Calls [`#message()`][message] internally.
-
-##### Throws
-
-[`VMessage`][vmessage].
