# readFile (path[, options])

Promise uses `fs.readFile`.

- `path` String | file descriptor (FD, introduced in Node.js 5.x)
- `options` Object (optional)
  - `encoding`, `flag`

```javascript
const { readFile } = require('fildes');

readFile('./path/to/file.json')
  .then(buffer => console.log('got', buffer.toString()))
  .catch(console.error);
```
