+# pump
+
+pump is a small node module that pipes streams together and destroys all of them if one of them closes.
+
+```
+npm install pump
+```
+
+[![build status](http://img.shields.io/travis/mafintosh/pump.svg?style=flat)](http://travis-ci.org/mafintosh/pump)
+
+## What problem does it solve?
+
+When using standard `source.pipe(dest)` source will _not_ be destroyed if dest emits close or an error.
+You are also not able to provide a callback to tell when then pipe has finished.
+
+pump does these two things for you
+
+## Usage
+
+Simply pass the streams you want to pipe together to pump and add an optional callback
+
+``` js
+var pump = require('pump')
+var fs = require('fs')
+
+var source = fs.createReadStream('/dev/random')
+var dest = fs.createWriteStream('/dev/null')
+
+pump(source, dest, function(err) {
+ console.log('pipe finished', err)
+})
+
+setTimeout(function() {
+ dest.destroy() // when dest is closed pump will destroy source
+}, 1000)
+```
+
+You can use pump to pipe more than two streams together as well
+
+``` js
+var transform = someTransformStream()
+
+pump(source, transform, anotherTransform, dest, function(err) {
+ console.log('pipe finished', err)
+})
+```
+
+If `source`, `transform`, `anotherTransform` or `dest` closes all of them will be destroyed.
