<p>
This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the
streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. 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 get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
An error occurred.
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
read_some function. If the streambuf's get area already contains the delimiter,
the function returns immediately.

<div class="variablelist">

<p>
The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the
delimiter. Returns 0 if an error occurred.

</h6>
<p>
After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional
data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data
in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until operation to examine.
