This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a
random access device at the specified offset. The call will block until
one of the following conditions is true:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal
to the sum of the buffer sizes.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
The completion_condition function object returns 0.
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's
read_some_at function.
