###Arguments

Gulp concat-filenames takes 2 arguments: filename and options

####Filename

This first argment is the name of the output file the list fo filenames will be put into. This is required.

#####Options

The second argument is optional, and is an object with the following properties:

• newline - The character to use in place of \n for a newline. The default value will be \n

• prepend - Some text to prepend to every entry in the list of filenames

• append - Some text to append to every intry in the list of filenames

• root - the root folder. Including this argument will return a list of relative paths instead of absolute paths.

Given the file structure:

.
+-- somefile.txt
+-- lib
|   +-- one.txt
|   +-- two.txt
+-- gulpfile.js

var concatFilenames = require('gulp-concat-filenames');

var concatFilenamesOptions = {
    root: '/lib',
    prepend: '==> ',
    append: ' <=='
};

function fileManifest(){
  gulp
      .src('./lib/**/*.*')
      .pipe(concatFilenames('manifest.txt', concatFilenamesOptions))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./output/'));
}


gulp.task('file-manifest', fileManifest);

running gulp file-manifest now produces a file called manifest.txt with the contents

==> one.txt <==
==> two.txt <==
