How do streams transfer data?

An attempt to understand how streams data transfer works.

Program specifications

Create a program that reads the data and writes it elsewhere using streams. From a readable stream, pipe the data to:

• a file
• process.stdout

Create a program to transfer executable from location A to location B. After transfer, run the executable to verify if it works.

• create a c++ program, build and execute it verify that it runs and works
• create a javascript program that transfers the executable to another location
• run the transferred executable to verify that transfer succeeded

Lessons learned

• streams don't care about the data they transfer
• all data is transferred through the streams

Streams logic

• WriteStream - Writes data to a specified destination via the write function
• ReadStream - Reads data from a specified destination to the internal buffer
