### `readChunk(stream, [size])`
- returns the next available chunk of data
- like `stream.read()`, a number of bytes can be specified
- returns with less data than expected if stream has ended
- returns `null` if the stream has ended and no data has been read
```js
import { readChunk } from '@vates/read-chunk'
;(async () => {
let chunk
while ((chunk = await readChunk(stream, 1024)) !== null) {
// do something with chunk
}
})()
```
### `readChunkStrict(stream, [size])`
Similar behavior to `readChunk` but throws if the stream ended before the requested data could be read.
```js
import { readChunkStrict } from '@vates/read-chunk'
const chunk = await readChunkStrict(stream, 1024)
```
### `skip(stream, size)`
Skips a given number of bytes from a stream.
Returns the number of bytes actually skipped, which may be less than the requested size if the stream has ended.
```js
import { skip } from '@vates/read-chunk'
const bytesSkipped = await skip(stream, 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)
```
### `skipStrict(stream, size)`
Skips a given number of bytes from a stream and throws if the stream ended before enough stream has been skipped.
```js
import { skipStrict } from '@vates/read-chunk'
await skipStrict(stream, 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)
```
