doc: update behaviour of fs.writeFile
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As per the decision in nodejs#23433,
the `fs.writeFile` will always write from the current position if it
is used with file descriptors. This patch updates it.

Ref: nodejs#23709

1. Any specified file descriptor has to support writing.
2. If a file descriptor is specified as the `file`, it will not be closed
automatically.
3. The writing will begin at the beginning of the file. For example, if the
file already had `'Hello World'` and the newly written content is `'Aloha'`,
then the contents of the file would be `'Aloha World'`, rather than just
`'Aloha'`.
3. The writing will begin at the current position. For example, if the string
`'Hello'` is written to the file descriptor, and if `', World'` is written with
`fs.writeFile()` to the same file descriptor, the contents of the file would
become `'Hello, World'`, instead of just `', World'`.
