A simple one-line session in the repl gives you the answer right away:
require('fs').stat(".", function (err, stat) { console.log("this", this,
this.__proto__ === Object.prototype, this.oncomplete === arguments.callee)
})
// OUTPUTS: this { oncomplete: [Function] } true true
As you can see, the value of this is a simple javascript Object instance
with an oncomplete function that is the callback you passed to the call.
I believe the value of "this" is not defined per the node public API in
callbacks.
