+<!-- YAML

+
+* `src` {string|Buffer|URL} source filename to copy
+* `dest` {string|Buffer|URL} destination filename of the copy operation
+* `flags` {number} modifiers for copy operation. **Default:** `0`
+* `callback` {Function}
+
+Asynchronously copies `src` to `dest`. By default, `dest` is overwritten if it
+already exists. No arguments other than a possible exception are given to the
+callback function. Node.js makes no guarantees about the atomicity of the copy
+operation. If an error occurs after the destination file has been opened for
+writing, Node.js will attempt to remove the destination.
+
+`flags` is an optional integer that specifies the behavior
+of the copy operation. The only supported flag is `fs.constants.COPYFILE_EXCL`,
+which causes the copy operation to fail if `dest` already exists.
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+const fs = require('fs');
+
+// destination.txt will be created or overwritten by default.
+fs.copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt', (err) => {
+  if (err) throw err;
+  console.log('source.txt was copied to destination.txt');
+});
+```
+
+If the third argument is a number, then it specifies `flags`, as shown in the
+following example.
+
+```js
+const fs = require('fs');
+const { COPYFILE_EXCL } = fs.constants;
+
+// By using COPYFILE_EXCL, the operation will fail if destination.txt exists.
+fs.copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt', COPYFILE_EXCL, callback);
