Simple :

okrabyte.decodeFile("test/fixture/hello_world.png", function(error, data){
  console.log(data); // Hello World!
});

From Buffer:

var okrabyte = require("okrabyte");
var fs = require("fs");
var buffer = fs.readFileSync("test/fixture/hello_world.png");
okrabyte.decodeBuffer(buffer, function(error, data){
  console.log(data); // Hello World!
});

From Stream:

var okrabyte = require("okrabyte");
var fs = require("fs");
var stream = fs.createReadStream("test/fixture/hello_world.png");
okrabyte.decodeStream(stream, function(error, data){
  console.log(data); // Hello World!
});
