mode: 0644, // entry mode. defaults to to 0755 for dirs and 0644 otherwise
mtime: new Date(), // last modified date for entry
type: 'file', // type of entry. can be file|directory|link|block|character|fifo
linkname: 'path', //
uid: 0, // uid of entry owner. defaults to 0
gid: 0, // gid of entry owner. defaults to 0
uname: 'maf', // uname of entry owner. defaults to null
gname: 'wheel', // gname of entry owner. defaults to null
