We'll cover the following...

Sometimes, we need to create a large number of streams at the same time, for example, to pass them to a function for further processing. A typical example is when using archiver, a package for creating archives such as TAR and ZIP. The archiver package allows us to create an archive from a set of streams, representing the files to add. The problem is that if we want to pass a large number of streams, such as from files on the filesystem, we would ...
