10/// The `Read` trait allows for reading bytes from a source.
11///
12/// Implementors of the `Read` trait are called 'readers'.
13///
14/// Readers are defined by one required method, [`read()`]. Each call to [`read()`]
15/// will attempt to pull bytes from this source into a provided buffer. A
16/// number of other methods are implemented in terms of [`read()`], giving
17/// implementors a number of ways to read bytes while only needing to implement
18/// a single method.
19///
20/// Readers are intended to be composable with one another. Many implementors
21/// throughout [`std::io`] take and provide types which implement the `Read`
22/// trait.
23///
24/// Please note that each call to [`read()`] may involve a system call, and
25/// `BufReader`, will be more efficient.
26/// therefore, using something that implements [`BufRead`], such as
27///
28/// [`BufRead`]: crate::io::BufRead
29///
30/// Repeated calls to the reader use the same cursor, so for example
31/// calling `read_to_end` twice on a `File` will only return the file's
32/// contents once. It's recommended to first call `rewind()` in that case.
33///
34/// # Examples
35///
36/// `File`s implement `Read`:
37///
38/// ```no_run
39/// use std::io;
40/// use std::io::prelude::*;
41/// use std::fs::File;
42///
43/// fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
44/// let mut f = File::open("foo.txt")?;
45/// let mut buffer = [0; 10];
46///
47/// // read up to 10 bytes
48/// f.read(&mut buffer)?;
49///
50/// let mut buffer = Vec::new();
51/// // read the whole file
52/// f.read_to_end(&mut buffer)?;
53///
54/// // read into a String, so that you don't need to do the conversion.
55/// let mut buffer = String::new();
56/// f.read_to_string(&mut buffer)?;
57///
58/// // and more! See the other methods for more details.
59/// Ok(())
60/// }
61/// ```
62///
63/// Read from [`&str`] because [`&[u8]`][prim@slice] implements `Read`:
64///
65/// ```no_run
66/// # use std::io;
67/// use std::io::prelude::*;
68///
69/// fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
70/// let mut b = "This string will be read".as_bytes();
71/// let mut buffer = [0; 10];
72///
73/// // read up to 10 bytes
74/// b.read(&mut buffer)?;
75///
76/// // etc... it works exactly as a File does!
77/// Ok(())
78/// }

92 /// This function does not provide any guarantees about whether it blocks
93 /// waiting for data, but if an object needs to block for a read and cannot,
94 /// it will typically signal this via an [`Err`] return value.
95 ///
96 /// If the return value of this method is [`Ok(n)`], then implementations must
97 /// guarantee that `0 <= n <= buf.len()`. A nonzero `n` value indicates
98 /// that the buffer `buf` has been filled in with `n` bytes of data from this
99 /// source. If `n` is `0`, then it can indicate one of two scenarios:
100 ///
101 /// 1. This reader has reached its "end of file" and will likely no longer
102 /// be able to produce bytes. Note that this does not mean that the
103 /// reader will *always* no longer be able to produce bytes. As an example,
104 /// on Linux, this method will call the `recv` syscall for a `TcpStream`,
105 /// where returning zero indicates the connection was shut down correctly. While
106 /// for `File`, it is possible to reach the end of file and get zero as result,
107 /// but if more data is appended to the file, future calls to `read` will return
108 /// more data.
109 /// 2. The buffer specified was 0 bytes in length.
110 ///
111 /// It is not an error if the returned value `n` is smaller than the buffer size,
112 /// even when the reader is not at the end of the stream yet.
113 /// This may happen for example because fewer bytes are actually available right now
114 /// (e. g. being close to end-of-file) or because read() was interrupted by a signal.
115 ///
116 /// As this trait is safe to implement, callers in unsafe code cannot rely on
117 /// `n <= buf.len()` for safety.
118 /// Extra care needs to be taken when `unsafe` functions are used to access the read bytes.
119 /// Callers have to ensure that no unchecked out-of-bounds accesses are possible even if
120 /// `n > buf.len()`.

122 /// *Implementations* of this method can make no assumptions about the contents of `buf` when

124 /// instead of reading its contents.
125 ///
126 /// Correspondingly, however, *callers* of this method in unsafe code must not assume
127 /// any guarantees about how the implementation uses `buf`. The trait is safe to implement,
128 /// so it is possible that the code that's supposed to write to the buffer might also read
129 /// from it. It is your responsibility to make sure that `buf` is initialized
130 /// before calling `read`. Calling `read` with an uninitialized `buf` (of the kind one

709/// Reads all bytes from a [reader][Read] into a new [`String`].
710///
711/// This is a convenience function for [`Read::read_to_string`]. Using this
712/// function avoids having to create a variable first and provides more type
713/// safety since you can only get the buffer out if there were no errors. (If you
714/// use [`Read::read_to_string`] you have to remember to check whether the read
715/// succeeded because otherwise your buffer will be empty or only partially full.)
716///
717/// # Performance
718///
719/// The downside of this function's increased ease of use and type safety is
720/// that it gives you less control over performance. For example, you can't
721/// pre-allocate memory like you can using [`String::with_capacity`] and
722/// [`Read::read_to_string`]. Also, you can't re-use the buffer if an error
723/// occurs while reading.
724///
725/// In many cases, this function's performance will be adequate and the ease of use
726/// and type safety tradeoffs will be worth it. However, there are cases where you
727/// need more control over performance, and in those cases you should definitely use
728/// [`Read::read_to_string`] directly.
729///
730/// Note that in some special cases, such as when reading files, this function will
731/// pre-allocate memory based on the size of the input it is reading. In those
732/// cases, the performance should be as good as if you had used
733/// [`Read::read_to_string`] with a manually pre-allocated buffer.
734///
735/// # Errors
736///
737/// This function forces you to handle errors because the output (the `String`)
738/// is wrapped in a [`Result`]. See [`Read::read_to_string`] for the errors
739/// that can occur. If any error occurs, you will get an [`Err`], so you
740/// don't have to worry about your buffer being empty or partially full.
741///
742/// # Examples
743///
744/// ```no_run
745/// # use std::io;
746/// fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
747/// let stdin = io::read_to_string(io::stdin())?;
748/// println!("Stdin was:");
749/// println!("{stdin}");
750/// Ok(())
751/// }
752/// ```
753///
754/// # Usage Notes
755///
756/// `read_to_string` attempts to read a source until EOF, but many sources are continuous streams
757/// that do not send EOF. In these cases, `read_to_string` will block indefinitely. Standard input
758/// is one such stream which may be finite if piped, but is typically continuous. For example,
759/// `cat file | my-rust-program` will correctly terminate with an `EOF` upon closure of cat.
760/// Reading user input or running programs that remain open indefinitely will never terminate
761/// the stream with `EOF` (e.g. `yes | my-rust-program`).
762///
763/// Using `.lines()` with a `BufReader` or using [`read`] can provide a better solution
764///
765/// [`read`]: Read::read

783/// Several `read_to_string` and `read_line` methods in the standard library will
