          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 buffer is full (that is, it has reached maximum size).
            </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="bold"><strong>composed
          operation</strong></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.

                Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
                or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
