# StreamConsumer<S> class

Abstract interface for a "sink" accepting multiple entire streams.

A consumer can accept a number of consecutive streams using addStream, and when no further data need to be added, the close method tells the consumer to complete its work and shut down.

The Stream.pipe accepts a `StreamConsumer` and will pass the stream to the consumer's addStream method. When that completes, it will call close and then complete its own returned future.
