    Range header field parser.
    
    ## Installation
    
    This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
    [npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
    [`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
    
    ```sh
    $ npm install range-parser
    ```
    
    ## API
    
    <!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
    
    ```js
    var parseRange = require('range-parser')
    ```
    
    ### parseRange(size, header, options)
    
    Parse the given `header` string where `size` is the maximum size of the resource.
    An array of ranges will be returned or negative numbers indicating an error parsing.
    
      * `-2` signals a malformed header string
      * `-1` signals an unsatisfiable range
    
    <!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
    
    ```js
    // parse header from request
    var range = parseRange(size, req.headers.range)
    
    // the type of the range
    if (range.type === 'bytes') {
      // the ranges
      range.forEach(function (r) {
        // do something with r.start and r.end
      })
    }
    ```
    
    #### Options
    
    These properties are accepted in the options object.
    
    ##### combine
    
    Specifies if overlapping & adjacent ranges should be combined, defaults to `false`.
    When `true`, ranges will be combined and returned as if they were specified that
    way in the header.
    
    <!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
    
    ```js
    parseRange(100, 'bytes=50-55,0-10,5-10,56-60', { combine: true })
    // => [
    //      { start: 0,  end: 10 },
    //      { start: 50, end: 60 }
    //    ]
    ```
