# gather-stream

Basically [concat-stream](https://github.com/maxogden/concat-stream) but minimaller implementation, and/but also with error handling.


## Usage

Here's a simple example:

  var concat2 = require('gather-stream'),
      fs = require('fs');

  fs.createReadStream('README.md').pipe(concat2(function (error,buffer) {
    if (error) console.error(error);
    else console.log("Read file, it was %s bytes long.", buffer.length);
  });


## API

* `var concat2 = require('gather-stream')` — the module exports a single wrapper function
* `concat2([opts, ]cb)` — returns a Writable stream you can pipe into. If an error occurs on this stream *or* its source, `cb(error)` will be called; otherwise `cb(null, buffer)` will get you. You can provide `{maxLength:someNumberOfBytes}` as `opts` to limit memory mayhem if you wish — if the limit is about to be exceeded, an error will be fired instead.
* that's about it
