# PauseStream This is a `Stream` that will strictly buffer when paused. Connect it to anything you need buffered. ``` js var ps = require('pause-stream')(); badlyBehavedStream.pipe(ps.pause()) aLittleLater(function (err, data) { ps.pipe(createAnotherStream(data)) ps.resume() }) ``` `PauseStream` will buffer whenever paused. it will buffer when yau have called `pause` manually. but also when it's downstream `dest.write()===false`. it will attempt to drain the buffer when you call resume or the downstream emits `'drain'` `PauseStream` is tested using [stream-spec](https://github.com/dominictarr/stream-spec) and [stream-tester](https://github.com/dominictarr/stream-tester) This is now the default case of [through](https://github.com/dominictarr/through) https://github.com/dominictarr/pause-stream/commit/4a6fe3dc2c11091b1efbfde912e0473719ed9cc0
