 Akka Streams provide simple Sources and Sinks that can work with :class:`ByteString` instances to perform IO operations
 on files.

 Streaming data from a file is as easy as creating a `FileIO.fromFile` given a target file, and an optional
 ``chunkSize`` which determines the buffer size determined as one "element" in such stream:
