public function TIOStream.Read(

var Buffer;

Count: LongInt

):LongInt; override;

Arguments

`Buffer`		Memory buffer for the read data
`Count`		Number of bytes to read

The number of bytes actually read

Description

Read checks first whether the type of the stream allows reading (type is iosInput). If not, it raises a EIOStreamError exception. If the stream can be read, it calls the inherited Read to actually read the data.

Errors

An EIOStreamError exception is raised if the stream does not allow reading.
