read_until (12 of 24 overloads)

Read data into a streambuf until it contains a specified delimiter.

template<
    typename SyncReadStream,
    typename Allocator>
std::size_t read_until(
    SyncReadStream & s,
    asio::basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
    string_view delim,
    asio::error_code & ec);

This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read_some function. If the streambuf's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.

Parameters

s

The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.

b

A streambuf object into which the data will be read.

delim

The delimiter string.

ec

Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Return Value

The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the delimiter. Returns 0 if an error occurred.

Remarks

After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until operation to examine.
