Overloads

Read(Span<Byte>)	Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream, writes them to a byte array, and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.
Read(Byte[], Int32, Int32)	Reads a block of bytes from a stream and writes the data to a specified buffer starting at a specified position for a specified length.

Read(Span<Byte>)

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream, writes them to a byte array, and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

public:
 override int Read(Span<System::Byte> buffer);

public override int Read(Span<byte> buffer);

override this.Read : Span<byte> -> int

Public Overrides Function Read (buffer As Span(Of Byte)) As Integer

Parameters

buffer: Span<Byte>

A region of memory. When this method returns, the contents of this region are replaced by the bytes read from the current source.

Returns

Int32

The total number of bytes read into the buffer. This can be less than the number of bytes allocated in buffer if that many bytes are not currently available, or zero (0) if the end of the stream has been reached.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The number of bytes read was longer than the buffer length.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support reading.

ObjectDisposedException

Cannot access a closed pipe.

InvalidOperationException

The pipe hasn't been connected yet.

-or-

The pipe is in a disconnected state.

-or-

The pipe handle has not been set. (Did your PipeStream implementation call InitializeHandle(SafePipeHandle, Boolean, Boolean)?

Remarks

Use the CanRead property to determine whether the current PipeStream object supports read operations.

Use the ReadAsync method to read asynchronously from the current stream.

This method reads a maximum of buffer.Length bytes from the current stream and stores them in buffer. The current position within the stream is advanced by the number of bytes read; however, if an exception occurs, the current position within the stream remains unchanged.

This method will block until at least one byte of data can be read, in the event that no data is available.

This method returns 0 only when there is no more data in the stream and no more is expected (such as a closed socket or end of file).

This method is free to return fewer bytes than requested even if the end of the stream has not been reached.

Use BinaryReader for reading primitive data types.

Read(Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Source:: PipeStream.Unix.cs

Reads a block of bytes from a stream and writes the data to a specified buffer starting at a specified position for a specified length.

public:
 override int Read(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ buffer, int offset, int count);

public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count);

[System.Security.SecurityCritical]
public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count);

override this.Read : byte[] * int * int -> int

[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
override this.Read : byte[] * int * int -> int

Public Overrides Function Read (buffer As Byte(), offset As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

buffer: Byte[]

When this method returns, contains the specified byte array with the values between offset and (offset + count - 1) replaced by the bytes read from the current source.

offset: Int32

The byte offset in the buffer array at which the bytes that are read will be placed.

count: Int32

The maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns

Int32

The total number of bytes that are read into buffer. This might be less than the number of bytes requested if that number of bytes is not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream is reached.

Attributes: SecurityCriticalAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

buffer is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

offset is less than 0.

-or-

count is less than 0.

ArgumentException

count is greater than the number of bytes available in buffer.

ObjectDisposedException

The pipe is closed.

NotSupportedException

The pipe does not support read operations.

InvalidOperationException

The pipe is disconnected, waiting to connect, or the handle has not been set.

IOException

Any I/O error occurred.

Examples

The following example creates an anonymous pipe client and pipe server. The pipe server uses the Read method to read a series of bytes from the pipe client as a validation code. Both the pipe client and the pipe server are part of the same example. The server portion of the example creates a client process and passes it an anonymous pipe handle as an argument.

Remarks

Use the CanRead property to determine whether the current PipeStream object supports read operations.

Calling the Read method blocks until count bytes are read or the end of the stream is reached. For asynchronous read operations, see BeginRead and EndRead.
