-### Error-first callbacks
-
-<!--type=misc-->
-
-Most asynchronous methods exposed by the Node.js core API follow an idiomatic
-pattern referred to as an _error-first callback_. With this pattern, a callback
-function is passed to the method as an argument. When the operation either
-completes or an error is raised, the callback function is called with the
-`Error` object (if any) passed as the first argument. If no error was raised,
-the first argument will be passed as `null`.
-
-```js
-const fs = require('node:fs');
-
-function errorFirstCallback(err, data) {
-  if (err) {
-    console.error('There was an error', err);
-    return;
-  }
-  console.log(data);
-}
-
-fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-not-exist', errorFirstCallback);
-fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-exist', errorFirstCallback);
-```
-
-The JavaScript `try…catch` mechanism **cannot** be used to intercept errors
-generated by asynchronous APIs. A common mistake for beginners is to try to
-use `throw` inside an error-first callback:
-
-```js
-// THIS WILL NOT WORK:
-const fs = require('node:fs');
-
-try {
-  fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-not-exist', (err, data) => {
-    // Mistaken assumption: throwing here...
-    if (err) {
-      throw err;
-    }
-  });
-} catch (err) {
-  // This will not catch the throw!
-  console.error(err);
-}
-```
-
-This will not work because the callback function passed to `fs.readFile()` is
-called asynchronously. By the time the callback has been called, the
-surrounding code, including the `try…catch` block, will have already exited.
-Throwing an error inside the callback **can crash the Node.js process** in most
-cases. If [domains][] are enabled, or a handler has been registered with
-`process.on('uncaughtException')`, such errors can be intercepted.
