  Description     : Nodejs minimal implementation of a PassThrough stream

minipass is a very minimal implementation of a PassThrough stream

It's very fast for objects, strings, and buffers.

Supports pipe()ing (including multi-pipe() and backpressure transmission),
buffering data until either a data event handler or pipe() is added (so
you don't lose the first chunk), and most other cases where PassThrough
is a good idea.

Currently, minipass is embedded in npm, node-cacache, node-ssri and
node-tar. It is also a dependency of next node-tap. The goal of this ITP
is to package it separately and then remove embedded minipass. The
package will embed also some little reverse dependencies of minipass
needed by node-cacache, npm and node-tap:
 * minipass-flush
 * minipass-collect
 * minipass-pipeline
 * minipass-json-stream
 * minipass-sized

This package will be maintained under Pkg-JS umbrella.

Cheers,
Yadd
