Reorder

Question

I am trying to create a file system based on sockets, and because of this, I ran into some problems. I want to read files in chunks using node fs.createReadStream (), but I was unable to resize the block from 665536. I could not find anything about this.

According to the ReadStream code, you can increase highWaterMark by explicitly setting it in the ReadStream parameters:

 var rs = fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar', { highWaterMark: 128 * 1024 });
