$3

filename: string, Buffer or URL (a file path where the file to be written)
data: string or Buffer (file contents)
options: Object or string (directly used as write-file-atomic options)
Return: Promise

It asynchronously writes data to the given file path in an atomic manner:

> The file is initially named filename + "." + murmurhex(__filename, process.pid, ++invocations)`. If writeFile completes successfully then, if passed the chown option it will change the ownership of the file. Finally it renames the file back to the filename you specified.
