## Description

This plugin writes incoming data to a custom GIO GOutputStream.

It can, for example, be used to write a stream to memory with a GMemoryOuputStream or to write to a file with a GFileOuputStream.

### Example code

The following example writes the received data to a GMemoryOutputStream.
