+Each call to `readable.read()` returns a chunk of data or `null`, signifying
+that there's no more data to read at that moment. These chunks aren't automatically
+concatenated. Because a single `read()` call does not return all the data, using
+a while loop may be necessary to continuously read chunks until all data is retrieved.
+When reading a large file, `.read()` might return `null` temporarily, indicating
+that it has consumed all buffered content but there may be more data yet to be
+buffered. In such cases, a new `'readable'` event is emitted once there's more
+data in the buffer, and the `'end'` event signifies the end of data transmission.
 
 Therefore to read a file's whole contents from a `readable`, it is necessary
 to collect chunks across multiple `'readable'` events:
