A typical wiring for [stream xml from file](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/function_stream_xml_from_file): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [get file from assets](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/file_from_assets) feeds the `file` pin; the function out pin wires to an [execute](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/function%20execution/function_custom_execute_from_trigger) block.
