Description
From manual page: https://php.net/function.stream-set-chunk-size
The documentation for the stream_set_chunk_size() is lacking a useful and simply example of what the function can and should be used for. I have seen it being used throughout various packages, yet it appears that developers are somewhat confused about what it actually does (at the very least I couldn't find any good explanation after searching the web for answers).
It this method some kind of alias method for setting PHP's internal read/write buffer for, e.g. stream_set_read_buffer() and stream_set_write_buffer(), or ?
To anyone that knows / understands this method, please help out...

Research direction
Start with the stream_set_chunk_size() manual page and compare its description with stream_set_read_buffer() and stream_set_write_buffer(). Done means the documentation clearly explains what the function does, how it differs from those buffering functions, and includes a useful simple example.
