GetObject Method

Gets an object from a bucket.

Syntax

amazons3.getObject(objectName, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method will get the file specified by the ObjectName parameter and store it in the file specified by LocalFile. If LocalFile is empty, the data will instead be stored in the ObjectData property.

The bucket name in which this file is stored is specified by the Bucket property.
