The stream is switched to flowing mode. ### getStream(stream, [options]) Get the `stream` as a string. #### options Type: `Object` ##### encoding Type: `string`
Default: `utf8` [Encoding](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buffer) of the incoming stream. ##### maxBuffer Type: `number`
Default: `Infinity` Maximum length of the returned string. If it exceeds this value before the stream ends, the promise will be rejected with a `getStream.MaxBufferError` error. ### getStream.buffer(stream, [options]) Get the `stream` as a buffer. It honors the `maxBuffer` option as above, but it refers to
