Always returns a function that can be used in place of a callback, if none has been passed in your function. This is a convenience function that avoids the need to keep checking if a callback was passed before calling it, in program logic.

  • if it is not a function, a new function will returned instead.

utils.getPath(pathname)

Returns application-specific paths. These paths are absolute.

• pathname (String):
  • can be any of:
    • app.home: application user/home directory
    • app.cache: directory for all application caches
    • app.cache.plugins: directory for plugin handler's cache
    • app.logs: directory for logs
    • app.plugins: directory for user-installed plugins
  • if it does not match any of the above, null is returned.

Note: The target path is created if not yet existent.
