+    (description "A very minimal implementation of a PassThrough stream
+It's very fast for objects, strings, and buffers.
+Supports pipe()ing (including multi-pipe() and backpressure transmission), buffering\
+ data until either a data event handler or pipe() is added (so you don't lose the first\
+ chunk), and most other cases where PassThrough is a good idea.
+There is a read() method, but it's much more efficient to consume data from this stream\
+ via 'data' events or by calling pipe() into some other stream. Calling read() requires\
+ the buffer to be flattened in some cases, which requires copying memory.
+If you set objectMode: true in the options, then whatever is written will be emitted.\
+ Otherwise, it'll do a minimal amount of Buffer copying to ensure proper Streams\
+ semantics when read(n) is called.
+objectMode can only be set at instantiation. Attempting to write something other than a\
+ String or Buffer without having set objectMode in the options will throw an error.
+This is not a through or through2 stream. It doesn't transform the data, it just passes\
+ it right through. If you want to transform the data, extend the class, and override the\
+ write() method. Once you're done transforming the data however you want, call\
+ super.write() with the transform output.")
