# node:fs

> Node's filesystem module, with the APIs Elide leaves out.

`node:fs`, `node:fs/promises`, and `fs.promises` match Node, including `glob`, `cp`, `statfs`, `opendir`, and `watch`.

## Differences from Node

- `lchmod` exists only in `fs/promises`; it has no callback or sync form.
- `fs.openAsBlob` is not available.
- Access is unrestricted until `--sandbox`, `--allow-read`, `--allow-write`, or `--fs-audit` is set; see
  [Sandbox](https://elide.help/docs/sandbox).
