    func read(fileRegion: FileRegion, allocator: ByteBufferAllocator) async throws -> ByteBuffer

    Parameters

    fileRegion

    The file region to read.

    allocator

    A ByteBufferAllocator used to allocate space for the returned ByteBuffer.

    Returns

    ByteBuffer.

    The returned ByteBuffer will not have less than the minimum of fileRegion.readableBytes and UInt32.max unless we hit end-of-file in which case the ByteBuffer will contain the bytes available to read.

    This method will not use the file descriptor’s seek pointer which means there is no danger of reading from the same FileRegion in multiple threads.
