| 10 | Destroy a stream.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | This module is meant to ensure a stream gets destroyed, handling different APIs
|
|---|
| 13 | and Node.js bugs.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | ## API
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | ```js
|
|---|
| 18 | var destroy = require('destroy')
|
|---|
| 19 | ```
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | ### destroy(stream)
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | Destroy the given stream. In most cases, this is identical to a simple
|
|---|
| 24 | `stream.destroy()` call. The rules are as follows for a given stream:
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | 1. If the `stream` is an instance of `ReadStream`, then call `stream.destroy()`
|
|---|
| 27 | and add a listener to the `open` event to call `stream.close()` if it is
|
|---|
| 28 | fired. This is for a Node.js bug that will leak a file descriptor if
|
|---|
| 29 | `.destroy()` is called before `open`.
|
|---|
| 30 | 2. If the `stream` is not an instance of `Stream`, then nothing happens.
|
|---|
| 31 | 3. If the `stream` has a `.destroy()` method, then call it.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | The function returns the `stream` passed in as the argument.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | ## Example
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | ```js
|
|---|
| 38 | var destroy = require('destroy')
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | var fs = require('fs')
|
|---|
| 41 | var stream = fs.createReadStream('package.json')
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | // ... and later
|
|---|
| 44 | destroy(stream)
|
|---|
| 45 | ```
