+# read-only-stream
+
+wrap a readable/writable stream to be read-only
+to prevent mucking up the input side
+
+[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/substack/read-only-stream.png)](http://travis-ci.org/substack/read-only-stream)
+
+# example
+
+Suppose you have a module that uses a readable/writable stream internally but
+want to expose just the readable part of that internal stream. This is common if
+you use the writable side internally and expose the readable side as the
+interface.
+
+Now we can write some code like this with a `through` stream internally for
+convenience:
+
+``` js
+var through = require('through2');
+var readonly = require('read-only-stream');
+
+module.exports = function () {
+    var stream = through();
+    stream.end('wooooo\n');
+    return readonly(stream);
+};
+```
+
+but consumers won't be able to write to the input side and break the api:
+
+``` js
+var wrap = require('./wrap.js');
+var ro = wrap(); // can't write to `ro` and muck up internal state
+ro.pipe(process.stdout);
+```
+
+# methods
+
+``` js
+var readonly = require('read-only-stream')
+```
+
+## var ro = readonly(stream)
+
+Return a readable stream `ro` that wraps the readable/writable `stream` argument
+given to only expose the readable side.
+
+`stream` can be a streams1 or streams2 stream.
