API

removeBOM(encoding)

Returns a Transform stream that will remove a BOM, if the argument encoding is 'utf-8' and the given data is a UTF8 Buffer with a BOM at the beginning. If the encoding is not 'utf-8' or does not have a BOM, the data is not changed and this becomes a no-op Transform stream.
