### `fs.copyFile(src, dest[, mode], callback)`

Asynchronously copies `src` to `dest`. By default, `dest` is overwritten if it
already exists.

**Note:** `fs.copyFile()` always dereferences symbolic links. If `src` is a
symbolic link, the contents of the target file will be copied rather than the
link itself.
