+Returns an [AsyncIterator][async-iterator] to fully consume the stream.
+
+```js
+async function print(readable) {
+  readable.setEncoding('utf8');
+  let data = '';
+  for await (const k of readable) {
+    data += k;
+  }
+  console.log(data);
+}
+
+print(fs.createReadStream('file')).catch(console.log);
+```
+
+If the loop terminates with a `break` or a `throw`, the stream will be destroyed.
+In other terms, iterating over a stream will consume the stream fully.
