# Installation

```bash

npm install -S linerstream

```

# Usage

Create an instance of linestream and pipe a readable stream into that instance

```javascript

var Linerstream = require('linerstream')

// splitter is an instance of require('stream').Transform

var opts = {

  highWaterMark: 2

}

var splitter = new Linerstream(opts) // opts is optional

var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/file/with/line/breaks.txt')

var lineByLineStream = readStream.pipe(splitter)

lineByLineStream.on('data', function(chunk) {

  console.dir(chunk)  // no line breaks here :)

})

```

## Override EOL

If you don't want to use the OS default `EOL` character, you can ovverride it when creating the stream

```

var stream2 = new LinerStream({EOL: '\n'})

//force windows EOL

var stream3 = new LinerStream({EOL: '\r\n'})

```
