method ReadableBase.prototype.pause
Usage in Deno
```typescript import { ReadableBase } from "node:node__stream.d.ts"; ```
ReadableBase.prototype.pause(): this
The `readable.pause()` method will cause a stream in flowing mode to stop
emitting `'data'` events, switching out of flowing mode. Any data that
becomes available will remain in the internal buffer.
```js
const readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
readable.on('data', (chunk) => {
console.log(`Received ${chunk.length} bytes of data.`);
readable.pause();
console.log('There will be no additional data for 1 second.');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Now data will start flowing again.');
readable.resume();
}, 1000);
});
```
The `readable.pause()` method has no effect if there is a `'readable'` event listener.
