          Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data from a
          stream.

<p>
          This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes
          of data from a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The
          asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions
          is true:
        </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
              The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal
              to the sum of the buffer sizes.
            </li>
<li class="listitem">
              An error occurred.
            </li>
</ul></div>
<p>
          This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
          async_read_some function, and is known as a <span class="emphasis"><em>composed operation</em></span>.
          The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations
          (such as async_read, the stream's async_read_some function, or any other
          composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.
        </p>

                The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support
                the AsyncReadStream 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. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary,
                ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller,
                which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is
                called.
              </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">handler</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
                The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies
                will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of
                the handler must be:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">void handler(
  const asio::error_code&amp; error, // Result of operation.

  std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes copied into the
                                          // buffers. If an error occurred,
                                          // this will be the  number of
                                          // bytes successfully transferred
                                          // prior to the error.
);
</pre>
<p>
                Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
                or not, the 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 <a class="link" href="../post.html" title="post"><code class="computeroutput">post</code></a>.
