error object as argument, in which case the error is emitted as part of the `error` event.
``` js
dup.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('readable or writable emitted an error - close will follow')
})
dup.on('close', function() {
console.log('the duplex stream is destroyed')
})
dup.destroy() // calls destroy on the readable and writable part (if present)
```
## HTTP request example
Turn a node core http request into a duplex stream is as easy as
``` js
var duplexify = require('duplexify')
var http = require('http')
var request = function(opts) {
var req = http.request(opts)
var dup = duplexify(req)
req.on('response', function(res) {
dup.setReadable(res)
})
return dup
}
var req = request({
method: 'GET',
host: 'www.google.com',
port: 80
})
req.end()
req.pipe(process.stdout)
```
