Pipe data through a stream until some fixed length is reached, then callback.
``bash`

`javascript
var SliceStream = require('../');
var streamBuffers = require("stream-buffers");
var ss = new SliceStream({ length: 5}, function (buf, sliceEnd, extra) {
if (!sliceEnd) {

.pipe(ss)
.pipe(writableStream)
.once('close', function () {
var str = writableStream.getContentsAsString('utf8');
console.log('First 5 bytes piped:', "'" + str + "'");
sourceStream.destroy();

//Output
//Piped data before pattern occurs: 'Hello'
