transform input into equally-sized chunks as output

streams2 version of block-stream

example

var block = require('block-stream2');
var through = require('through2');

process.stdin
    .pipe(block({ size: 16, zeroPadding: true }))
    .pipe(through(function (buf, enc, next) {
        var str = buf.toString().replace(/[\x00-\x1f]/g, chr);
        console.log('buf[' + buf.length + ']=' + str);
        next();
    }))
;
function chr (s) { return '\\x' + pad(s.charCodeAt(0).toString(16),2) }
function pad (s, n) { return Array(n - s.length + 1).join('0') + s }

methods

var block = require('block-stream2');

var b = block(opts)

var b = block(size, opts)

Create a new transform stream b that outputs chunks of length size or opts.size.

When opts.zeroPadding is false, do not zero-pad the last chunk.
