2 * The `fs` module enables interacting with the file system in a
3 * way modeled on standard POSIX functions.
4 *
5 * To use the promise-based APIs:
6 *
7 * ```js
8 * import * as fs from 'fs/promises';
9 * ```
10 *
11 * To use the callback and sync APIs:
12 *
13 * ```js
14 * import * as fs from 'fs';
15 * ```
16 *
17 * All file system operations have synchronous, callback, and promise-based
18 * forms, and are accessible using both CommonJS syntax and ES6 Modules (ESM).
19 * @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v17.0.0/lib/fs.js)

3485 * // Artificially marking end-of-stream, as if the underlying resource had
3486 * // indicated end-of-file by itself, allows the stream to close.
3487 * // This does not cancel pending read operations, and if there is such an
3488 * // operation, the process may still not be able to exit successfully
