 ### `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.
