closing naturally.

By default, the stream will not emit a `'close'` event after it has been
destroyed. (This is the opposite of the default for other `Readable` streams.)
Set the `emitClose` option to `true` to change this behavior.

const fs = require('fs');

It is the application's responsibility to close it and make sure there's no
file descriptor leak.

By default, the stream will not emit a `'close'` event after it has been
destroyed. (This is the opposite of the default for other `Writable` streams.)
Set the `emitClose` option to `true` to change this behavior.

Like [`ReadStream`][], if `fd` is specified, [`WriteStream`][] will ignore the
`path` argument and will use the specified file descriptor. This means that no
`'open'` event will be emitted. `fd` should be blocking; non-blocking `fd`s
