          The function call always returns immediately.

                One or more buffers into which the data will be read. 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>
                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 boost::system::error_code&amp; error, // Result of operation.
  std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes read.
);
</pre>
<p>
                Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
                or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
                Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent
                to using <code class="computeroutput">boost::asio::io_context::post()</code>.

<p>
          The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider
          using the <a class="link" href="../async_read.html" title="async_read"><code class="computeroutput">async_read</code></a>
          function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read
          before the asynchronous operation completes.

          To read into a single data buffer use the <a class="link" href="../buffer.html" title="buffer"><code class="computeroutput">buffer</code></a>
          function as follows:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">descriptor.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);
</pre>
<p>
          See the <a class="link" href="../buffer.html" title="buffer"><code class="computeroutput">buffer</code></a>
          documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go,
          and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.
