+Sync vs Async
+-------------
+Most methods are async by default (they take a callback with an `Error` as first argument).
+
+Sync methods on the other hand will throw if an error occurs.
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+var fs = require('fs-extra')
+
+fs.copy('/tmp/myfile', '/tmp/mynewfile', function (err) {
+  if (err) return console.error(err)
+  console.log("success!")
+});
+
+try {
+  fs.copySync('/tmp/myfile', '/tmp/mynewfile')
+  console.log("success!")
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error(err)
+}
+```

 Copy a file or directory. The directory can have contents. Like `cp -r`.
 
 Options:
-clobber (boolean): overwrite existing file or directory
-preserveTimestamps (boolean): will set last modification and access times to the ones of the original source files, default is `false`.
-filter: Function or RegExp to filter copied files. If function, return true to include, false to exclude. If RegExp, same as function, where `filter` is `filter.test`.
