Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data at the specified offset.
template< typename AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice, typename Allocator, typename CompletionCondition, typename ReadToken = DEFAULT> DEDUCED async_read_at( AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice & d, uint64_t offset, basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b, CompletionCondition completion_condition, ReadToken && token = DEFAULT);
This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes of data from a random access device at the specified offset. It is an initiating function for an asynchronous operation, and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's async_read_some_at function.
The device from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice concept.
The offset at which the data will be read.
A basic_streambuf
object into which the data will be read. Ownership of the streambuf
is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it remains valid
until the completion handler is called.
The function object to be called to determine whether the read operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be:
std::size_t completion_condition( // Result of latest async_read_some_at operation. const asio::error_code& error, // Number of bytes transferred so far. std::size_t bytes_transferred );
A return value of 0 indicates that the read operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be read on the next call to the device's async_read_some_at function.
The completion
token that will be used to produce a completion handler, which
will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens
include use_future
,
use_awaitable
,
yield_context
,
or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function
signature of the completion handler must be:
void handler( // Result of operation. const asio::error_code& error, // Number of bytes copied into the buffers. If an error // occurred, this will be the number of bytes successfully // transferred prior to the error. std::size_t bytes_transferred );
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this
function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will
be performed in a manner equivalent to using post
.
void(asio::error_code, std::size_t)
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following cancellation_type
values:
cancellation_type::terminal
cancellation_type::partial
if they are also supported by the AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice
type's async_read_some_at operation.
