# stdout-stream
Non-blocking stdout stream
npm install stdout-stream

## Rant
Try saving this example as `example.js`
``` js
console.error('start');
process.stdout.write(new Buffer(1024*1024));
console.error('end');
```
And run the following program
```
node example.js | sleep 1000
```
The program will never print `end` since stdout in node currently is blocking - even when its being piped (!).
stdout-stream tries to fix this by being a stream that writes to stdout but never blocks
## Usage
``` js
var stdout = require('stdout-stream');
stdout.write('hello\n'); // write should NEVER block
stdout.write('non-blocking\n')
stdout.write('world\n');
```
`stdout-stream` should behave in the same way as `process.stdout` (i.e. do not end on pipe etc)
