+When checking if an object is a vinyl file, you should not use instanceof. Use the isVinyl function instead.

Full path to the file.

+Path history. Has no effect if `options.path` is passed.

The result of an fs.stat call. See [fs.Stats](http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_class_fs_stats) for more information.

### isBuffer()
-
Returns true if file.contents is a Buffer.
### isStream()
-
Returns true if file.contents is a Stream.
### isNull()
-
Returns true if file.contents is null.
-### clone()
+### clone([opt])
+Returns a new File object with all attributes cloned.<br>By default custom attributes are deep-cloned.
-Returns a new File object with all attributes cloned.
+If opt or opt.deep is false, custom attributes will not be deep-cloned.
-### pipe(stream[, opt])
+If opt.contents is false, it will copy file.contents Buffer's reference.
+### pipe(stream[, opt])
If file.contents is a Buffer, it will write it to the stream.
If file.contents is a Stream, it will pipe it to the stream.
If file.contents is null, it will do nothing.
-If opt.end is true, the destination stream will not be ended (same as node core).
+If opt.end is false, the destination stream will not be ended (same as node core).
Returns the stream.
### inspect()
-
Returns a pretty String interpretation of the File. Useful for console.log.
-### relative
+### contents
+The [Stream](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_stream) or [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_class_buffer) of the file as it was passed in via options, or as the result of modification.
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+if (file.isBuffer()) {
+ console.log(file.contents.toString()); // logs out the string of contents
+}
+```
+### path
+Absolute pathname string or `undefined`. Setting to a different value pushes the old value to `history`.
+
+### history
+Array of `path` values the file object has had, from `history[0]` (original) through `history[history.length - 1]` (current). `history` and its elements should normally be treated as read-only and only altered indirectly by setting `path`.
+
+### relative
Returns path.relative for the file base and file path.
