Hi there,

thank you for your awesome package. Since I just finished a fancy google session why

privateKey: fs.readFileSync('~/.ssh/id_rsa')

is throwing an error:

return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);

Maybe you can add a small comment on this line in your readme example that node is very bitchy when it comes to relative paths.

privateKey: fs.readFileSync(${process.env.HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa`)

solved the issue for me.

Greetings
Christopher
