Hey guys,
I've read up on previous posts, but I'm still left scratching my head a
little when it comes to the finer details of the additional streams
superset.
In particular, the docs says of the read method :
If size bytes are not available, then it will return null. [1]
This isn't what I'm experiencing at all, for instance, when I'm doing
var res = someReadableStream();
> res.on('readable', function () {
> var chunk;
> while( (chunk = res.read(20)) !== null) {
> console.log(chunk+'');
> }
> });
The whole stream is read 20 bytes at a time, and then the last few bytes
(say 10) are
also output at the end instead of the expected null.
For my use case this behaviour is preferred, but I'm wondering why its not
acting like the docs
say, or am I misunderstanding something?
Best,
Dave
