#### Using `StreamingResponse` with file-like objects

If you have a file-like object (e.g. the object returned by `open()`), you can create a generator function to iterate over that file-like object.

That way, you don't have to read it all first in memory, and you can pass that generator function to the `StreamingResponse`, and return it.
