# Config is now split into separate files, new configuration
# linking to the split files has been generated
$ ls path/to/some

As a library

var fs = require('fs'),
 configPath = '/some/path/to',
 splitter = require('openvpn-config-splitter');
 
var paths = {
 'caCert': configPath + '/openvpn-ca.crt',
 'userCert': configPath + '/openvpn-user.crt',
 'privateKey': configPath + '/openvpn-private.key',
 'tlsAuth': configPath + '/openvpn-tls.key'
};
 
fs.readFile(configPath + '/config.ovpn', function(err, originalConfig) {
 if (err) {
 console.error('Could not read file (' + err.path + ')');
 process.exit(1);
 }
 
 splitter.split(originalConfig, paths, function(err, parts, missing) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(err);
 process.exit(1);
 }
 
 /**
 * `parts` now contain the matched parts of the config + new config
 * (caCert, userCert, privateKey, tlsAuth, config)
 *
 * `missing` is an array containing the parts that were NOT found -
 * use this if you want to warn the user or fall back if you require
 * a specific part to be present
 */
 // Want to write the split files? 
 splitter.writeToFiles(parts, paths, function(err) {
 if (err) {
 console.log(err);
 process.exit(1);
 }
 
 console.log('Hooray, we split the files and wrote them to disk!');
 });
