Purpose of fs ReadStream.open #29050
Description
Activity
The reason is lost in the mist of time. It was introduced in the exquisitely well documented commit 44b308b from 2012.
I had some pretty strong misgivings about streams2 back then, among them that it had a lot of loose ends, and this was one of them. Isaac basically merged it without consulting anyone.
Is it something we can deprecate? Remove from documentation?
I don't think it's documented. Removal would need to start with run-time deprecation, i.e, printing a deprecation notice on first use.

I'm not quite sure I understand the purpose of
ReadStream.openinfs? Why would I use this?Opening the stream after closing it doesn't quite make sense and if passing an existing fd then it should already be opened.
