fs.promises FileHandle.read() not working with object argument as stated in docs. #34176

Description

@branisha
  • Version: v14.4.0
  • Platform: Linux arch 5.7.2-arch1-1
  • Subsystem: fs.promises FileHandle

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Using FileHandle.read() with object argument.
This example throws TypeError:

const fs_p = require('fs').promises;
fs_p.open('exampleFile.txt', 'r')
    .then((fileHandler) => {
        const header_buffer = Buffer.alloc(10);
        fileHandler.read({ buffer: header_buffer, offset: 12 })
            .then(({ bytesRead, buffer }) => {
                console.log("Reading")
            }).catch((err) => {
                throw err;
            });
    }).catch((err) => {
        throw err;
    });

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Everytime you use object as argument.

What is the expected behavior?

Method should accept object as parameter, as stated in docs here.

What do you see instead?

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "buffer" argument must be an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Object

Additional information

This bug dosen't seem too complicated, maybe I could fix it.
