Attempt to read a certain amount of data from a stream before returning.
template< typename SyncReadStream, typename MutableBufferSequence> std::size_t read( SyncReadStream & s, const MutableBufferSequence & buffers, asio::error_code & ec, constraint_t< is_mutable_buffer_sequence< MutableBufferSequence >::value > = 0);
This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. 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.
The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.
One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the stream.
Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.
The number of bytes transferred.
To read into a single data buffer use the buffer function as follows:
asio::read(s, asio::buffer(data, size), ec);
See the buffer
documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go,
and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.
This overload is equivalent to calling:
asio::read( s, buffers, asio::transfer_all(), ec);
