      description: 'Get file or directory contents as a stream of data.


        Certain services may use the query parameter *impersonationId* to be used in place of the requesting

        Tapis user. Tapis will use this user Id when performing authorization and resolving the *effectiveUserId*

        for the system.


        Use the query parameter *zip* to request a stream compressed using the ZIP file format. This is not allowed

        if system *rootDir* plus *path* would result in all files on the host being included. Please download

        individual directories, files or objects.


        Certain services may use the query parameter *sharedCtx* to indicate that the request is in a shared

        context. *sharedCtx* must be set to the share grantor.

        Tapis will include the share grantor as part of authorization checks.'
