-Writes bytes from `buffer` to the file specified by `fd`. Asynchronous [write(2), pwrite(2)](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/write.html). The `offset` and `length` arguments describe the part of the buffer to be written. The `position` refers to the offset from the beginning of the file where this data should be written. If `position` is `null`, the data will be written at the current position. The callback gets `(error, nbytes)`, where `nbytes` is the number of bytes written.

 NOTE: Filer currently writes the entire buffer in a single operation. However, future versions may do it in chunks.

-Writes data to a file. `data` can be a string or a buffer, in which case any encoding option is ignored. The `options` argument is optional, and can take the form `"utf8"` (i.e., an encoding) or be an object literal: `{ encoding: "utf8", flag: "w" }`. If no encoding is specified, and `data` is a string, the encoding defaults to `'utf8'`.  The callback gets `(error)`.
