The official Node.js API docs say that it is unsafe to use fs.write multiple times on the same file without waiting for the callback. This module solves this problem. . fd-slicer also provides additional features that builtin fs.createWriteStream is lacking, such as progress events and setting a maximum size to write. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
