readBytesAsync

open fun readBytesAsync(count: <Error class: unknown class>, ioPriority: Int, cancellable: Cancellable? = null, callback: AsyncReadyCallback)

Request an asynchronous read of @count bytes from the stream into a new #GBytes. When the operation is finished @callback will be called. You can then call g_input_stream_read_bytes_finish() to get the result of the operation.

During an async request no other sync and async calls are allowed on @stream, and will result in %G_IO_ERROR_PENDING errors.

A value of @count larger than %G_MAXSSIZE will cause a %G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT error.

On success, the new #GBytes will be passed to the callback. It is not an error if this is smaller than the requested size, as it can happen e.g. near the end of a file, but generally we try to read as many bytes as requested. Zero is returned on end of file (or if
