Using close()
To close a file, simply use the close() method and pass in the file descriptor (obtained from the open() method):
var fs = require("fs"); var path = "c:\\Temp\\Test.txt"; fs.open(path, "w+", function(error, fd) { if (error) { console.error("open error: " + error.message); } else { fs.close(fd, function(error) { if (error) { console.error("close error: " + error.message); } else { console.log("File was closed!"); } }); } });
