###### flat_stream::read_some (1 of 2 overloads)

Read some data from the stream.

<h7> Synopsis </h7>

    template<
        class MutableBufferSequence>
    std::size_t
    read_some(
        MutableBufferSequence const& buffers);

<h7> Description </h7>

This function is used to read data from the stream. The function call will block until one or more bytes of data has been read successfully, or until an error occurs.

<h7> Parameters </h7>

Name | Description
--- | ---
`buffers` | The buffers into which the data will be read.

<h7> Return Value </h7>

The number of bytes read.

<h7> Exceptions </h7>

Type | Thrown On
--- | ---
`boost::system::system_error` | Thrown on failure.

<h7> Remarks </h7>

The `read_some` operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the function `net::read` if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.
