+> **trough** /trôf/ — a channel used to convey a liquid.
+
+`trough` is like [`ware`][ware] with less sugar, and middleware functions can
+change the input of the next.
+
+## Install
+
+[npm][]:
+
+```sh
+npm install trough
+```
+
+## Use
+
+```js
+var fs = require('fs')
+var path = require('path')
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+var pipeline = trough()
+ .use(function(fileName) {
+ console.log('Checking… ' + fileName)
+ })
+ .use(function(fileName) {
+ return path.join(process.cwd(), fileName)
+ })
+ .use(function(filePath, next) {
+ fs.stat(filePath, function(err, stats) {
+ next(err, {filePath, stats})
+ })
+ })
+ .use(function(ctx, next) {
+ if (ctx.stats.isFile()) {
+ fs.readFile(ctx.filePath, next)
+ } else {
+ next(new Error('Expected file'))
+ }
+ })
+
+pipeline.run('readme.md', console.log)
+pipeline.run('node_modules', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+

+## API
+
+### `trough()`
+
+Create a new [`Trough`][trough].
+
+#### `trough.wrap(middleware, callback[, …input])`
+
+Call `middleware` with all input.
+If `middleware` accepts more arguments than given in input, and extra `done`
+function is passed in after the input when calling it.
+It must be called.
+
+The first value in `input` is called the main input value.
+All other input values are called the rest input values.
+The values given to `callback` are the input values, merged with every non-nully
+output value.
+
+* If `middleware` throws an error, returns a promise that is rejected, or
+ calls the given `done` function with an error, `callback` is invoked with
+ that error
+* If `middleware` returns a value or returns a promise that is resolved, that
+ value is the main output value
+* If `middleware` calls `done`, all non-nully values except for the first one
+ (the error) overwrite the output values
+
+### `Trough`
+
+A pipeline.
+
+#### `Trough#run([input…, ]done)`
+
+Run the pipeline (all [`use()`][use]d middleware).
+Invokes [`done`][done] on completion with either an error or the output of the
+last middleware.
+
+> Note!
+> as the length of input defines whether [async][] functions get a `next`
+> function, it’s recommended to keep `input` at one value normally.
+
+##### `function done(err?, [output…])`
+
+The final handler passed to [`run()`][run], invoked with an error if a
+[middleware function][fn] rejected, passed, or threw one, or the output of the
+last middleware function.
+
+#### `Trough#use(fn)`
+
+Add `fn`, a [middleware function][fn], to the pipeline.
+
+##### `function fn([input…, ][next])`
+
+A middleware function invoked with the output of its predecessor.
+
+###### Synchronous
+
+If `fn` returns or throws an error, the pipeline fails and `done` is invoked
+with that error.
+
+If `fn` returns a value (neither `null` nor `undefined`), the first `input` of
+the next function is set to that value (all other `input` is passed through).
+
+The following example shows how returning an error stops the pipeline:
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val) {
+ return new Error('Got: ' + val)
+ })
+ .run('some value', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+Error: Got: some value
+ at ~/example.js:5:12
+ …
+```
+
+The following example shows how throwing an error stops the pipeline:
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val) {
+ throw new Error('Got: ' + val)
+ })
+ .run('more value', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+Error: Got: more value
+ at ~/example.js:5:11
+ …
+```
+
+The following example shows how the first output can be modified:
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val) {
+ return 'even ' + val
+ })
+ .run('more value', 'untouched', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+null 'even more value' 'untouched'
+```
+
+###### Promise
+
+If `fn` returns a promise, and that promise rejects, the pipeline fails and
+`done` is invoked with the rejected value.
+
+If `fn` returns a promise, and that promise resolves with a value (neither
+`null` nor `undefined`), the first `input` of the next function is set to that
+value (all other `input` is passed through).
+
+The following example shows how rejecting a promise stops the pipeline:
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val) {
+ return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
+ reject('Got: ' + val)
+ })
+ })
+ .run('val', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+Got: val
+```
+
+The following example shows how the input isn’t touched by resolving to `null`.
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function() {
+ return new Promise(function(resolve) {
+ setTimeout(function() {
+ resolve(null)
+ }, 100)
+ })
+ })
+ .run('Input', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+null 'Input'
+```
+
+###### Asynchronous
+
+If `fn` accepts one more argument than the given `input`, a `next` function is
+given (after the input). `next` must be called, but doesn’t have to be called
+async.
+
+If `next` is given a value (neither `null` nor `undefined`) as its first
+argument, the pipeline fails and `done` is invoked with that value.
+
+If `next` is given no value (either `null` or `undefined`) as the first
+argument, all following non-nully values change the input of the following
+function, and all nully values default to the `input`.
+
+The following example shows how passing a first argument stops the pipeline:
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val, next) {
+ next(new Error('Got: ' + val))
+ })
+ .run('val', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+Error: Got: val
+ at ~/example.js:5:10
+```
+
+The following example shows how more values than the input are passed.
+
+```js
+var trough = require('trough')
+
+trough()
+ .use(function(val, next) {
+ setTimeout(function() {
+ next(null, null, 'values')
+ }, 100)
+ })
+ .run('some', console.log)
+```
+
+Yields:
+
+```txt
+null 'some' 'values'
+```
