    <p>Writes <code>msg.payload</code> to a file, either adding to the end or replacing the existing content.
       Alternatively, it can delete the file.</p>
    <h3>Inputs</h3>
    <dl class="message-properties">
        <dt class="optional">filename <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>If not configured in the node, this optional property sets the name of the file to be updated.</dd>
    </dl>
    <h3>Details</h3>
    <p>Each message payload will be added to the end of the file, optionally appending
    a newline (\n) character between each one.</p>
    <p>It can be configured to overwrite the entire file rather than append. For example,
    when writing binary data to a file, such as an image, this option should be used
    and the option to append a newline should be disabled.</p>
    <p>Alternatively, this node can be configured to delete the file.</p>

        <dd>If not configured in the node, this optional property sets the name of the file to be read.</dd>

    <h3>Details</h3>
    <p>The filename should be an absolute path, otherwise it will be relative to
    the working directory of the Node-RED process.</p>
    <p>On Windows, path separators may need to be escaped, for example: <code>\\Users\\myUser</code>.</p>
    <p>Optionally, a text file can be split into lines, outputting one message per line, or a binary file
    file into smaller buffer chunks, the chunk size is operating system dependant, but typically 64k (linux/mac) or 41k (Windows).</p>
