method Deno.FsFile.prototype.read
FsFile.prototype.read(p: Uint8Array): Promise<number | null>
Read the file into an array buffer (p
).
Resolves to either the number of bytes read during the operation or EOF
(null
) if there was nothing more to read.
It is possible for a read to successfully return with 0
bytes. This
does not indicate EOF.
It is not guaranteed that the full buffer will be read in a single call.
// if "/foo/bar.txt" contains the text "hello world":
using file = await Deno.open("/foo/bar.txt");
const buf = new Uint8Array(100);
const numberOfBytesRead = await file.read(buf); // 11 bytes
const text = new TextDecoder().decode(buf); // "hello world"
Promise<number | null>
