Once installed, you can use the open function to open a file, returning a file descriptor.

Here is an example:

index.tsx
const fse = require('fs-extra');

fse.open('/path/to/file', 'r', (err, fd) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`File descriptor: ${fd}`);
});

In this example, we are opening a file at /path/to/file with the r flag, indicating that we are reading from the file. The open function takes a callback as the second argument, which receives an error or a file descriptor (fd) if the file was successfully opened. If there is an error, we log it to the console. Otherwise, we log the file descriptor.
