Name: js-handler/node_modules/nodeunit/node_modules/tap/node_modules/inherits/README.md 
1:
Browser-friendly inheritance fully compatible with standard node.js
2:
[inherits](http://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inherits_constructor_superconstructor).
3:
 
4:
This package exports standard `inherits` from node.js `util` module in
5:
node environment, but also provides alternative browser-friendly
6:
implementation through [browser
7:
field](https://gist.github.com/shtylman/4339901). Alternative
8:
implementation is a literal copy of standard one located in standalone
9:
module to avoid requiring of `util`. It also has a shim for old
10:
browsers with no `Object.create` support.
11:
 
12:
While keeping you sure you are using standard `inherits`
13:
implementation in node.js environment, it allows bundlers such as
14:
[browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) to not
15:
include full `util` package to your client code if all you need is
16:
just `inherits` function. It worth, because browser shim for `util`
17:
package is large and `inherits` is often the single function you need
18:
from it.
19:
 
20:
It's recommended to use this package instead of
21:
`require('util').inherits` for any code that has chances to be used
22:
not only in node.js but in browser too.
23:
 
24:
## usage
25:
 
26:
```js
27:
var inherits = require('inherits');
28:
// then use exactly as the standard one
29:
```
30:
 
31:
## note on version ~1.0
32:
 
33:
Version ~1.0 had completely different motivation and is not compatible
34:
neither with 2.0 nor with standard node.js `inherits`.
35:
 
36:
If you are using version ~1.0 and planning to switch to ~2.0, be
37:
careful:
38:
 
39:
* new version uses `super_` instead of `super` for referencing
40:
  superclass
41:
* new version overwrites current prototype while old one preserves any
42:
  existing fields on it
