errors are handled for you:
* Windows: `EBUSY` and `ENOTEMPTY` - rimraf will back off a maximum of
- `opts.maxBusyTries` times before giving up.
+ `opts.maxBusyTries` times before giving up, adding 100ms of wait
+ between each attempt. The default `maxBusyTries` is 3.
* `ENOENT` - If the file doesn't exist, rimraf will return
successfully, since your desired outcome is already the case.
+* `EMFILE` - Since `readdir` requires opening a file descriptor, it's
+ possible to hit `EMFILE` if too many file descriptors are in use.
+ In the sync case, there's nothing to be done for this. But in the
+ async case, rimraf will gradually back off with timeouts up to
+ `opts.emfileWait` ms, which defaults to 1000.
