## This module provides a stream interface and two implementations thereof:
## the `FileStream <#FileStream>`_ and the `StringStream <#StringStream>`_
## which implement the stream interface for Nim file objects (`File`) and
## strings.
##
## Other modules may provide other implementations for this standard
## stream interface.
##
## Basic usage
## ===========
##
## The basic flow of using this module is:
##
## 1. Open input stream
## 2. Read or write stream
## 3. Close stream
##
## StringStream example
## --------------------
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##
##  import std/streams
##
##  var strm = newStringStream("""The first line
##  the second line
##  the third line""")
##
##  var line = ""
##
##  while strm.readLine(line):
##    echo line
##
##  # Output:
##  # The first line
##  # the second line
##  # the third line
##
##  strm.close()
##
## FileStream example
## ------------------
##
## Write file stream example:
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##
##  import std/streams
##
##  var strm = newFileStream("somefile.txt", fmWrite)
##  var line = ""
##
##  if not isNil(strm):
##    strm.writeLine("The first line")
##    strm.writeLine("the second line")
##    strm.writeLine("the third line")
##    strm.close()
##
##  # Output (somefile.txt):
##  # The first line
##  # the second line
##  # the third line
##
## Read file stream example:
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##
##  import std/streams
##
##  var strm = newFileStream("somefile.txt", fmRead)
##  var line = ""
##
##  if not isNil(strm):
##    while strm.readLine(line):
##      echo line
##    strm.close()
##
##  # Output:
##  # The first line
##  # the second line
##  # the third line
