#### read (5 of 16 overloads)

Attempt to read a certain amount of data from a stream before returning.

    template<
        typename SyncReadStream,
        typename DynamicBuffer_v1>
    std::size_t read(
        SyncReadStream & s,
        DynamicBuffer_v1 && buffers,
        typename enable_if< is_dynamic_buffer_v1< typename decay< DynamicBuffer_v1 >::type >::value &&!is_dynamic_buffer_v2< typename decay< DynamicBuffer_v1 >::type >::value >::type *  = 0);

This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:

- The specified dynamic buffer sequence is full (that is, it has reached maximum size).
- An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read_some function.

###### Parameters

s

  The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.

buffers

  The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.

###### Return Value

The number of bytes transferred.

###### Exceptions

boost::system::system_error

  Thrown on failure.

###### Remarks

This overload is equivalent to calling:

    boost::asio::read(
        s, buffers,
        boost::asio::transfer_all());
