c# how to work with stream code example

Example: C# Stream

private static void SplitFile(string inputFile, int chunkSize, string path)
    {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[chunkSize];
        List<byte> extraBuffer = new List<byte>();

        using (Stream input = File.OpenRead(inputFile))
        {
            int index = 0;
            while (input.Position < input.Length)
            {
                using (Stream output = File.Create(path + "\\" + index + ".csv"))
                {
                    int chunkBytesRead = 0;
                    while (chunkBytesRead < chunkSize)
                    {
                        int bytesRead = input.Read(buffer,
                                                   chunkBytesRead,
                                                   chunkSize - chunkBytesRead);

                        if (bytesRead == 0)
                        {
                            break;
                        }

                        chunkBytesRead += bytesRead;
                    }

                    byte extraByte = buffer[chunkSize - 1];
                    while (extraByte != '\n')
                    {
                        int flag = input.ReadByte();
                        if (flag == -1)
                            break;
                        extraByte = (byte)flag;
                        extraBuffer.Add(extraByte);
                    }

                    output.Write(buffer, 0, chunkBytesRead);
                    if (extraBuffer.Count > 0)
                        output.Write(extraBuffer.ToArray(), 0, extraBuffer.Count);

                    extraBuffer.Clear();
                }
                index++;
            }
        }
    }
