## Constructors

### constructor

- new BufferBuilder(): BufferBuilder

- Overrides Duplex.__constructor

  - Defined in @zowe/imperative/src/utilities/src/BufferBuilder.ts:15

  #### Returns BufferBuilder

## Properties

### allowHalfOpen

allowHalfOpen: boolean

Inherited from BufferBuilder.allowHalfOpen

- Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:1063

If `false` then the stream will automatically end the writable side when the readable side ends. Set initially by the `allowHalfOpen` constructor option, which defaults to `true`.

This can be changed manually to change the half-open behavior of an existing `Duplex` stream instance, but must be changed before the `'end'` event is emitted.

since

  v0.9.4

### cork

- cork(): void

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.cork

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:917

  The `writable.cork()` method forces all written data to be buffered in memory. The buffered data will be flushed when either the uncork or end methods are called.

  The primary intent of `writable.cork()` is to accommodate a situation in which several small chunks are written to the stream in rapid succession. Instead of immediately forwarding them to the underlying destination, `writable.cork()` buffers all the chunks until `writable.uncork()` is called, which will pass them all to `writable._writev()`, if present. This prevents a head-of-line blocking situation where data is being buffered while waiting for the first small chunk to be processed. However, use of `writable.cork()` without implementing `writable._writev()` may have an adverse effect on throughput.

  See also: `writable.uncork()`, `writable._writev()`.

  since

    v0.11.2

  #### Returns void

### destroy

- destroy(error?: Error): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.destroy

  Overrides Writable.destroy

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:617

  Destroy the stream. Optionally emit an `'error'` event, and emit a `'close'` event (unless `emitClose` is set to `false`). After this call, the readable stream will release any internal resources and subsequent calls to `push()` will be ignored.

  Once `destroy()` has been called any further calls will be a no-op and no further errors except from `_destroy()` may be emitted as `'error'`.

  Implementors should not override this method, but instead implement `readable._destroy()`.

  since

    v8.0.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### Optional error: Error

    Error which will be passed as payload in `'error'` event

  #### Returns this

### drop

  Calling the write method after calling end will raise an error.

      // Write 'hello, ' and then end with 'world!'.
      import fs from 'node:fs';
      const file = fs.createWriteStream('example.txt');

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.every

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:545

  This method is similar to `Array.prototype.every` and calls fn on each chunk in the stream to check if all awaited return values are truthy value for fn.

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.filter

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:473

  This method allows filtering the stream. For each chunk in the stream the fn function will be called and if it returns a truthy value, the chunk will be passed to the result stream. If the fn function returns a promise - that promise will be `await`ed.

  since

    v17.4.0, v16.14.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>

    a function to filter chunks from the stream. Async or not.

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): boolean | Promise<boolean>

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns boolean | Promise<boolean>

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Readable

  a stream filtered with the predicate fn.

### find

- find<T>(fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => data is T, options?: ArrayOptions): Promise<T | undefined>
- find(fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>, options?: ArrayOptions): Promise<any>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.find

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:528

  This method is similar to `Array.prototype.find` and calls fn on each chunk in the stream to find a chunk with a truthy value for fn. Once an fn call's awaited return value is truthy, the stream is destroyed and the promise is fulfilled with value for which fn returned a truthy value. If all of the fn calls on the chunks return a falsy value, the promise is fulfilled with `undefined`.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Type parameters

  - #### T

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => data is T

    a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): data is T

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns data is T

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Promise<T | undefined>

  a promise evaluating to the first chunk for which fn evaluated with a truthy value, or `undefined` if no element was found.

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.find

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:532

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): boolean | Promise<boolean>

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns boolean | Promise<boolean>

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Promise<any>

### flatMap

- flatMap(fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => any, options?: ArrayOptions): Readable

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.flatMap

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:559

  This method returns a new stream by applying the given callback to each chunk of the stream and then flattening the result.

  It is possible to return a stream or another iterable or async iterable from fn and the result streams will be merged (flattened) into the returned stream.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => any

    a function to map over every chunk in the stream. May be async. May be a stream or generator.

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): any

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns any

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Readable

  a stream flat-mapped with the function fn.

### forEach

- forEach(fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => void | Promise<void>, options?: ArrayOptions): Promise<void>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.forEach

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:492

  This method allows iterating a stream. For each chunk in the stream the fn function will be called. If the fn function returns a promise - that promise will be `await`ed.

  This method is different from `for await...of` loops in that it can optionally process chunks concurrently. In addition, a `forEach` iteration can only be stopped by having passed a `signal` option and aborting the related AbortController while `for await...of` can be stopped with `break` or `return`. In either case the stream will be destroyed.

  This method is different from listening to the `'data'` event in that it uses the `readable` event in the underlying machinary and can limit the number of concurrent fn calls.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => void | Promise<void>

    a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): void | Promise<void>

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns void | Promise<void>

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Promise<void>

  a promise for when the stream has finished.

### getMaxListeners

- getMaxListeners(): number

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.getMaxListeners

  Overrides BufferBuilder.getMaxListeners

  - Defined in @types/node/events.d.ts:819

  Returns the current max listener value for the `EventEmitter` which is either set by `emitter.setMaxListeners(n)` or defaults to {@link EventEmitter.defaultMaxListeners}.

  since

    v1.0.0

  #### Returns number

### isPaused

- isPaused(): boolean

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.isPaused

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:326

  The `readable.isPaused()` method returns the current operating state of the `Readable`. This is used primarily by the mechanism that underlies the `readable.pipe()` method. In most typical cases, there will be no reason to use this method directly.

      const readable = new stream.Readable();

      readable.isPaused(); // === false
      readable.pause();
      readable.isPaused(); // === true
      readable.resume();
      readable.isPaused(); // === false

  since

    v0.11.14

  #### Returns boolean

### iterator

- iterator(options?: { destroyOnReturn?: boolean }): AsyncIterator<any>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.iterator

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:456

  The iterator created by this method gives users the option to cancel the destruction of the stream if the `for await...of` loop is exited by `return`, `break`, or `throw`, or if the iterator should destroy the stream if the stream emitted an error during iteration.

  since

    v16.3.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### Optional options: { destroyOnReturn?: boolean }

    - ##### Optional destroyOnReturn?: boolean

      When set to `false`, calling `return` on the async iterator, or exiting a `for await...of` iteration using a `break`, `return`, or `throw` will not destroy the stream. Default: `true`.

  #### Returns AsyncIterator<any>

### listenerCount

- listenerCount<K>(eventName: Key<K, DefaultEventMap>, listener?: Listener2<K, DefaultEventMap>): number

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.listenerCount

  Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named `eventName`.

      server.on('connection', (stream) => {
        console.log('someone connected!');
      });
      console.log(util.inspect(server.listeners('connection')));
      // Prints: [ [Function] ]

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.map

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:464

  This method allows mapping over the stream. The fn function will be called for every chunk in the stream. If the fn function returns a promise - that promise will be `await`ed before being passed to the result stream.

  since

    v17.4.0, v16.14.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => any

- pause(): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.pause

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:290

  The `readable.pause()` method will cause a stream in flowing mode to stop emitting `'data'` events, switching out of flowing mode. Any data that becomes available will remain in the internal buffer.

      const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
      readable.on('data', (chunk) => {
        console.log(`Received ${chunk.length} bytes of data.`);
        readable.pause();
        console.log('There will be no additional data for 1 second.');
        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log('Now data will start flowing again.');
          readable.resume();
        }, 1000);
      });

  The `readable.pause()` method has no effect if there is a `'readable'` event listener.

### read

- read(size?: number): any

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.read

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:243

  The `readable.read()` method reads data out of the internal buffer and returns it. If no data is available to be read, `null` is returned. By default, the data is returned as a `Buffer` object unless an encoding has been specified using the `readable.setEncoding()` method or the stream is operating in object mode.

  The optional `size` argument specifies a specific number of bytes to read. If `size` bytes are not available to be read, `null` will be returned unless the stream has ended, in which case all of the data remaining in the internal buffer will be returned.

  If the `size` argument is not specified, all of the data contained in the internal buffer will be returned.

  The `size` argument must be less than or equal to 1 GiB.

  The `readable.read()` method should only be called on `Readable` streams operating in paused mode. In flowing mode, `readable.read()` is called automatically until the internal buffer is fully drained.

      const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();

      // 'readable' may be triggered multiple times as data is buffered in
      readable.on('readable', () => {
        let chunk;
        console.log('Stream is readable (new data received in buffer)');
        // Use a loop to make sure we read all currently available data
        while (null !== (chunk = readable.read())) {
          console.log(`Read ${chunk.length} bytes of data...`);
        }
      });

      // 'end' will be triggered once when there is no more data available
      readable.on('end', () => {
        console.log('Reached end of stream.');
      });

  Each call to `readable.read()` returns a chunk of data, or `null`. The chunks are not concatenated. A `while` loop is necessary to consume all data currently in the buffer. When reading a large file `.read()` may return `null`, having consumed all buffered content so far, but there is still more data to come not yet buffered. In this case a new `'readable'` event will be emitted when there is more data in the buffer. Finally the `'end'` event will be emitted when there is no more data to come.

  Therefore to read a file's whole contents from a `readable`, it is necessary to collect chunks across multiple `'readable'` events:

      const chunks = [];

      readable.on('readable', () => {
        let chunk;
        while (null !== (chunk = readable.read())) {
          chunks.push(chunk);
        }
      });

      readable.on('end', () => {
        const content = chunks.join('');
      });

  A `Readable` stream in object mode will always return a single item from a call to `readable.read(size)`, regardless of the value of the `size` argument.

  If the `readable.read()` method returns a chunk of data, a `'data'` event will also be emitted.

  Calling read after the `'end'` event has been emitted will return `null`. No runtime error will be raised.

    v0.9.4

  #### Parameters

  - ##### Optional size: number

    Optional argument to specify how much data to read.

  #### Returns any

### reduce

- reduce<T>(fn: (previous: any, data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => T, initial?: undefined, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): Promise<T>
- reduce<T>(fn: (previous: T, data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => T, initial: T, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): Promise<T>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.reduce

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:595

  This method calls fn on each chunk of the stream in order, passing it the result from the calculation on the previous element. It returns a promise for the final value of the reduction.

  If no initial value is supplied the first chunk of the stream is used as the initial value. If the stream is empty, the promise is rejected with a `TypeError` with the `ERR_INVALID_ARGS` code property.

  The reducer function iterates the stream element-by-element which means that there is no concurrency parameter or parallelism. To perform a reduce concurrently, you can extract the async function to `readable.map` method.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Type parameters

  - #### T = any

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (previous: any, data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => T

    a reducer function to call over every chunk in the stream. Async or not.

    - - (previous: any, data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): T

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### previous: any

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns T

  - ##### Optional initial: undefined

    the initial value to use in the reduction.

  - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

  #### Returns Promise<T>

  a promise for the final value of the reduction.

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.reduce

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:600

  - ##### initial: T

  - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

  #### Returns Promise<T>

### removeAllListeners

- removeAllListeners(eventName?: Key<unknown, DefaultEventMap>): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.removeAllListeners

  Overrides BufferBuilder.removeAllListeners

  - Defined in @types/node/events.d.ts:803

  Removes all listeners, or those of the specified `eventName`.

  It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the `EventEmitter` instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).

  Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.

### resume

- resume(): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.resume

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:309

  The `readable.resume()` method causes an explicitly paused `Readable` stream to resume emitting `'data'` events, switching the stream into flowing mode.

  The `readable.resume()` method can be used to fully consume the data from a stream without actually processing any of that data:

      getReadableStreamSomehow()
        .resume()
        .on('end', () => {
          console.log('Reached the end, but did not read anything.');
        });

  The `readable.resume()` method has no effect if there is a `'readable'` event listener.

  since

    v0.9.4

  #### Returns this

### setDefaultEncoding

- setDefaultEncoding(encoding: BufferEncoding): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.setDefaultEncoding

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:877

  The `writable.setDefaultEncoding()` method sets the default `encoding` for a `Writable` stream.

  since

    v0.11.15

  #### Parameters

  - ##### encoding: BufferEncoding

    The new default encoding

  #### Returns this

### setEncoding

- setEncoding(encoding: BufferEncoding): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.setEncoding

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:268

  The `readable.setEncoding()` method sets the character encoding for data read from the `Readable` stream.

  By default, no encoding is assigned and stream data will be returned as `Buffer` objects. Setting an encoding causes the stream data to be returned as strings of the specified encoding rather than as `Buffer` objects. For instance, calling `readable.setEncoding('utf8')` will cause the output data to be interpreted as UTF-8 data, and passed as strings. Calling `readable.setEncoding('hex')` will cause the data to be encoded in hexadecimal string format.

  The `Readable` stream will properly handle multi-byte characters delivered through the stream that would otherwise become improperly decoded if simply pulled from the stream as `Buffer` objects.

      const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
      readable.setEncoding('utf8');
      readable.on('data', (chunk) => {
        assert.equal(typeof chunk, 'string');
        console.log('Got %d characters of string data:', chunk.length);
      });

  since

    v0.9.4

  #### Parameters

  - ##### encoding: BufferEncoding

    The encoding to use.

  #### Returns this

### setMaxListeners

- setMaxListeners(n: number): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.setMaxListeners

  Overrides BufferBuilder.setMaxListeners

  - Defined in @types/node/events.d.ts:813

  By default `EventEmitter`s will print a warning if more than `10` listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. The `emitter.setMaxListeners()` method allows the limit to be modified for this specific `EventEmitter` instance. The value can be set to `Infinity` (or `0`) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

  Returns a reference to the `EventEmitter`, so that calls can be chained.

  since

    v0.3.5

  #### Parameters

  - ##### n: number

  #### Returns this

### some

- some(fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>, options?: ArrayOptions): Promise<boolean>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.some

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:514

  This method is similar to `Array.prototype.some` and calls fn on each chunk in the stream until the awaited return value is `true` (or any truthy value). Once an fn call on a chunk `await`ed return value is truthy, the stream is destroyed and the promise is fulfilled with `true`. If none of the fn calls on the chunks return a truthy value, the promise is fulfilled with `false`.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### fn: (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">) => boolean | Promise<boolean>

    a function to call on each chunk of the stream. Async or not.

    - - (data: any, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): boolean | Promise<boolean>

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### data: any

        - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

        #### Returns boolean | Promise<boolean>

  - ##### Optional options: ArrayOptions

  #### Returns Promise<boolean>

  a promise evaluating to `true` if fn returned a truthy value for at least one of the chunks.

### take

- take(limit: number, options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): Readable

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.take

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:573

  This method returns a new stream with the first limit chunks.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### limit: number

    the number of chunks to take from the readable.

  - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

  #### Returns Readable

  a stream with limit chunks taken.

### toArray

- toArray(options?: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">): Promise<any[]>

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.toArray

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:504

  This method allows easily obtaining the contents of a stream.

  As this method reads the entire stream into memory, it negates the benefits of streams. It's intended for interoperability and convenience, not as the primary way to consume streams.

  since

    v17.5.0

  #### Parameters

  - ##### Optional options: Pick<ArrayOptions, "signal">

  #### Returns Promise<any[]>

  a promise containing an array with the contents of the stream.

### uncork

- uncork(): void

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.uncork

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:951

  The `writable.uncork()` method flushes all data buffered since cork was called.

  When using `writable.cork()` and `writable.uncork()` to manage the buffering of writes to a stream, defer calls to `writable.uncork()` using `process.nextTick()`. Doing so allows batching of all `writable.write()` calls that occur within a given Node.js event loop phase.

      stream.cork();
      stream.write('some ');
      stream.write('data ');
      process.nextTick(() => stream.uncork());

  If the `writable.cork()` method is called multiple times on a stream, the same number of calls to `writable.uncork()` must be called to flush the buffered data.

      stream.cork();
      stream.write('some ');
      stream.cork();
      stream.write('data ');
      process.nextTick(() => {
        stream.uncork();
        // The data will not be flushed until uncork() is called a second time.
        stream.uncork();
      });

  See also: `writable.cork()`.

  since

    v0.11.2

  #### Returns void

### unpipe

- unpipe(destination?: WritableStream): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.unpipe

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:353

  The `readable.unpipe()` method detaches a `Writable` stream previously attached using the pipe method.

  If the `destination` is not specified, then all pipes are detached.

  If the `destination` is specified, but no pipe is set up for it, then the method does nothing.

      import fs from 'node:fs';
      const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
      const writable = fs.createWriteStream('file.txt');
      // All the data from readable goes into 'file.txt',
      // but only for the first second.
      readable.pipe(writable);
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('Stop writing to file.txt.');
        readable.unpipe(writable);
        console.log('Manually close the file stream.');
        writable.end();
      }, 1000);

  since

    v0.9.4

  #### Parameters

  - ##### Optional destination: WritableStream

    Optional specific stream to unpipe

  #### Returns this

### unshift

- unshift(chunk: any, encoding?: BufferEncoding): void

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.unshift

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:419

  Passing `chunk` as `null` signals the end of the stream (EOF) and behaves the same as `readable.push(null)`, after which no more data can be written. The EOF signal is put at the end of the buffer and any buffered data will still be flushed.

  The `readable.unshift()` method pushes a chunk of data back into the internal buffer. This is useful in certain situations where a stream is being consumed by code that needs to "un-consume" some amount of data that it has optimistically pulled out of the source, so that the data can be passed on to some other party.

  The `stream.unshift(chunk)` method cannot be called after the `'end'` event has been emitted or a runtime error will be thrown.

  Developers using `stream.unshift()` often should consider switching to use of a `Transform` stream instead. See the `API for stream implementers` section for more information.

      // Pull off a header delimited by \n\n.
      // Use unshift() if we get too much.
      // Call the callback with (error, header, stream).
      import { StringDecoder } from 'node:string_decoder';
      function parseHeader(stream, callback) {
        stream.on('error', callback);
        stream.on('readable', onReadable);
        const decoder = new StringDecoder('utf8');
        let header = '';
        function onReadable() {
          let chunk;
          while (null !== (chunk = stream.read())) {

  Unlike push, `stream.unshift(chunk)` will not end the reading process by resetting the internal reading state of the stream. This can cause unexpected results if `readable.unshift()` is called during a read (i.e. from within a _read implementation on a custom stream). Following the call to `readable.unshift()` with an immediate push will reset the reading state appropriately, however it is best to simply avoid calling `readable.unshift()` while in the process of performing a read.

    v0.9.11

  #### Parameters

  - ##### chunk: any

    Chunk of data to unshift onto the read queue. For streams not operating in object mode, `chunk` must be a {string}, {Buffer}, {TypedArray}, {DataView} or `null`. For object mode streams, `chunk` may be any JavaScript value.

  - ##### Optional encoding: BufferEncoding

    Encoding of string chunks. Must be a valid `Buffer` encoding, such as `'utf8'` or `'ascii'`.

  #### Returns void

### wrap

- wrap(stream: ReadableStream): this

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.wrap

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:445

  Prior to Node.js 0.10, streams did not implement the entire `node:stream` module API as it is currently defined. (See `Compatibility` for more information.)

  When using an older Node.js library that emits `'data'` events and has a pause method that is advisory only, the `readable.wrap()` method can be used to create a `Readable` stream that uses the old stream as its data source.

  It will rarely be necessary to use `readable.wrap()` but the method has been provided as a convenience for interacting with older Node.js applications and libraries.

      import { OldReader } from './old-api-module.js';
      import { Readable } from 'node:stream';
      const oreader = new OldReader();
      const myReader = new Readable().wrap(oreader);

      myReader.on('readable', () => {
        myReader.read(); // etc.
      });

    v0.9.4

  #### Parameters

  - ##### stream: ReadableStream

    An "old style" readable stream

  #### Returns this

### write

- write(chunk: any, callback?: (error: Error | null | undefined) => void): boolean
- write(chunk: any, encoding: BufferEncoding, callback?: (error: Error | null | undefined) => void): boolean

- Inherited from BufferBuilder.write

  - Defined in @types/node/stream.d.ts:870

  The `writable.write()` method writes some data to the stream, and calls the supplied `callback` once the data has been fully handled. If an error occurs, the `callback` will be called with the error as its first argument. The `callback` is called asynchronously and before `'error'` is emitted.

  The return value is `true` if the internal buffer is less than the `highWaterMark` configured when the stream was created after admitting `chunk`. If `false` is returned, further attempts to write data to the stream should stop until the `'drain'` event is emitted.

  While a stream is not draining, calls to `write()` will buffer `chunk`, and return false. Once all currently buffered chunks are drained (accepted for delivery by the operating system), the `'drain'` event will be emitted. Once `write()` returns false, do not write more chunks until the `'drain'` event is emitted. While calling `write()` on a stream that is not draining is allowed, Node.js will buffer all written chunks until maximum memory usage occurs, at which point it will abort unconditionally. Even before it aborts, high memory usage will cause poor garbage collector performance and high RSS (which is not typically released back to the system, even after the memory is no longer required). Since TCP sockets may never drain if the remote peer does not read the data, writing a socket that is not draining may lead to a remotely exploitable vulnerability.

  Writing data while the stream is not draining is particularly problematic for a `Transform`, because the `Transform` streams are paused by default until they are piped or a `'data'` or `'readable'` event handler is added.

  If the data to be written can be generated or fetched on demand, it is recommended to encapsulate the logic into a `Readable` and use pipe. However, if calling `write()` is preferred, it is possible to respect backpressure and avoid memory issues using the `'drain'` event:

      function write(data, cb) {
        if (!stream.write(data)) {
          stream.once('drain', cb);
        } else {
          process.nextTick(cb);
        }
      }

      // Wait for cb to be called before doing any other write.
      write('hello', () => {
        console.log('Write completed, do more writes now.');
      });

  A `Writable` stream in object mode will always ignore the `encoding` argument.

    v0.9.4

  #### Parameters

  - ##### chunk: any

    Optional data to write. For streams not operating in object mode, `chunk` must be a {string}, {Buffer}, {TypedArray} or {DataView}. For object mode streams, `chunk` may be any JavaScript value other than `null`.

  - ##### Optional callback: (error: Error | null | undefined) => void

    Callback for when this chunk of data is flushed.

    - - (error: Error | null | undefined): void

      - #### Parameters

        - ##### error: Error | null | undefined

        #### Returns void

  #### Returns boolean

  `false` if the stream wishes for the calling code to wait for the `'drain'` event to be emitted before continuing to write additional data; otherwise `true`.
