# About `fs.read()` & `fs.write()`
[`fs.read()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_read_fd_buffer_offset_length_position_callback) & [`fs.write()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_write_fd_buffer_offset_length_position_callback) are different from other `fs` methods in that their callbacks are called with 3 arguments instead of the usual 2 arguments.
If you're using them with callbacks, they will behave as usual. However, their promise usage is a little different. `fs-extra` promisifies these methods like [`util.promisify()`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original) (only available in Node 8+) does.
Here's the example promise usage:
## `fs.read()`
```js
// Basic promises
fs.read(fd, buffer, offset, length, position)
.then(results => {
console.log(results)
// { bytesRead: 20, buffer: <Buffer 0f 34 5d ...> }
})
// Async/await usage:
async function example () {
const { bytesRead, buffer } = await fs.read(fd, Buffer.alloc(length), offset, length, position)
}
```
## `fs.write()`
```js
// Basic promises
fs.write(fd, buffer, offset, length, position)
.then(results => {
console.log(results)
// { bytesWritten: 20, buffer: <Buffer 0f 34 5d ...> }
})
// Async/await usage:
async function example () {
const { bytesWritten, buffer } = await fs.write(fd, Buffer.alloc(length), offset, length, position)
}
```
