It worth, because browser shim for `util` +package is large and `inherits` is often the single function you need +from it. + +It's recommended to use this package instead of +`require('util').inherits` for any code that has chances to be used +not only in node.js but in browser too. + +## usage + +```js +var inherits = require('inherits'); +// then use exactly as the standard one +``` + +## note on version ~1.0 + +Version ~1.0 had completely different motivation and is not compatible +neither with 2.0 nor with standard node.js `inherits`. + +If you are using version ~1.0 and planning to switch to ~2.0, be +careful: + +* new version uses `super_` instead of `super` for referencing + superclass +* new version overwrites current prototype while old one preserves any + existing fields on it |
