DataInputStream.readUntil

string readUntil(string stopChars, out size_t length, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters.

Note that, in contrast to [gio.data_input_stream.DataInputStream.readUntilAsync], this function consumes the stop character that it finds.

Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with [gio.data_input_stream.DataInputStream.readUntilAsync]. Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use [gio.data_input_stream.DataInputStream.readUpto] instead, but note that that function does not consume the stop character.

Parameters

`stopChars`	characters to terminate the read.
`length`	a #gsize to get the length of the data read in.
`cancellable`	optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore.

Returns

a string with the data that was read

before encountering any of the stop characters. Set length to a #gsize to get the length of the string. This function will return null on an error.

Throws

[ErrorWrap]

Deprecated

Use [gio.data_input_stream.DataInputStream.readUpto] instead, which has more

consistent behaviour regarding the stop character.
