doc/api/fs.md Outdated
In such cases the reappearance callback will not report the `previousStat` of
the file with all zeroes. This is the correct and expected behavior for
`uv_fs_poll_start()`, the libuv function that `fs.watchFile()` uses internally.

Why this is documented under Appendfile, as opposed to watchFile?

great, thanks!

Note was previously mistakenly added under fs.appendFile() section.
Now moved to correct position, under fs.watchFile().

The note explains the expected behavior of previousStat in
fs.watchFile() when a watched file disappears and reappears.

This paragraph can be removed. The first sentence is redundant and the last sentence won't be relevant to most readers, they won't know or care it's implemented by libuv.
