+* Returns: {Function[]}
+
+Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`.
+
+For `EventEmitter`s this behaves exactly the same as calling `.listeners` on
+the emitter.
+
+For `EventTarget`s this is the only way to get the event listeners for the
+event target. This is useful for debugging and diagnostic purposes.

+```js
+const { getEventListeners, EventEmitter } = require('events');

+{
+  const ee = new EventEmitter();
+  const listener = () => console.log('Events are fun');
+  ee.on('foo', listener);
