+Write `string` to the file. If `string` is not a string, then
+the value will be coerced to one.
+
+The `Promise` is resolved with an object containing a `bytesWritten` property
+identifying the number of bytes written, and a `buffer` property containing
+a reference to the `string` written.
+
+`position` refers to the offset from the beginning of the file where this data
+should be written. If the type of `position` is not a `number` the data
+will be written at the current position. See pwrite(2).
+
+`encoding` is the expected string encoding.
+
+It is unsafe to use `filehandle.write()` multiple times on the same file
+without waiting for the `Promise` to be resolved (or rejected). For this
+scenario, [`fs.createWriteStream()`][] is strongly recommended.
