stream.pipeline-shim

Polyfill for stream.pipeline in node versions < v10

node v10.0.0 added support for a built-in stream.pipeline: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19828

This package provides the built-in stream.pipeline in node v10.0.0 and later, and a replacement in other environments.

This module requires Node >= 5.

This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES5-supported environment and complies with the spec.
