multiple times until either of them signify the end of stream by

<para>
Provides a way to operate across a sequence of RDF Triples that are
generated one-by-one on demand. The generated triples can be from
some API call in the <link linkend="librdf-model"><type>librdf_model</type></link> class, from listing a graph content
as individual triples, from parsing a syntax or returning an RDF graph
result from a query. Streams can be passed into methods for the reverse
operations such as adding to a graph, serializing a graph to a syntax.
Streams pass individual triples (<link linkend="librdf-statement"><type>librdf_statement</type></link>) between objects
and are usually lazily generated and consumed.
