  Description     : safely create multiple ReadStreams or WriteStreams from the same fd - Node.js module

 This module provides an API for creating multiple ReadStreams or WriteStreams

 from the same file descriptor.

 .

 The official Node.js API docs say that it is unsafe to use fs.write multiple

 times on the same file without waiting for the callback. This module solves

 this problem.

 .

 fd-slicer also provides additional features that builtin fs.createWriteStream

 is lacking, such as progress events and setting a maximum size to write.

 .

 Node.js is an event-based server-side _javascript_ engine.

 .

 An older version of this module is bundled with node-yauzl. However now

 fd-slicer has a few more features and the new upstream version of

 node-multiparty depends on it.

 .

 I plan to maintain this as part of the pkg-_javascript_ team.
