Methods

drainHandler(handler) → {WriteStream}

Set a drain handler on the stream. If the write queue is full, then the handler will be called when the write queue has been reduced to maxSize / 2. See Pump for an example of this being used.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
handler function the handler
Source:
Returns:
a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
Type
WriteStream

exceptionHandler(handler) → {WriteStream}

Set an exception handler on the write stream.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
handler function the exception handler
Source:
Returns:
a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
Type
WriteStream

setWriteQueueMaxSize(maxSize) → {WriteStream}

Set the maximum size of the write queue to maxSize. You will still be able to write to the stream even if there is more than maxSize bytes in the write queue. This is used as an indicator by classes such as Pump to provide flow control.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
maxSize number the max size of the write stream
Source:
Returns:
a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
Type
WriteStream

write(data) → {WriteStream}

Write some data to the stream. The data is put on an internal write queue, and the write actually happens asynchronously. To avoid running out of memory by putting too much on the write queue, check the WriteStream#writeQueueFull method before writing. This is done automatically if using a Pump.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
data Object the data to write
Source:
Returns:
a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
Type
WriteStream

writeQueueFull() → {boolean}

This will return true if there are more bytes in the write queue than the value set using WriteStream#setWriteQueueMaxSize
Source:
Returns:
true if write queue is full
Type
boolean
