//
// Because these interfaces and primitives wrap lower-level operations with
// various implementations, unless otherwise informed clients should not

// Reader is the interface that wraps the basic Read method.
//
// Read reads up to len(p) bytes into p.  It returns the number of bytes
// read (0 <= n <= len(p)) and any error encountered.  Even if Read
// returns n < len(p), it may use all of p as scratch space during the call.
// If some data is available but not len(p) bytes, Read conventionally
// returns what is available instead of waiting for more.
//
// When Read encounters an error or end-of-file condition after
// successfully reading n > 0 bytes, it returns the number of
// bytes read.  It may return the (non-nil) error from the same call
// or return the error (and n == 0) from a subsequent call.
// An instance of this general case is that a Reader returning
// a non-zero number of bytes at the end of the input stream may
// return either err == EOF or err == nil.  The next Read should
// return 0, EOF regardless.
//
// Callers should always process the n > 0 bytes returned before
// considering the error err.  Doing so correctly handles I/O errors
// that happen after reading some bytes and also both of the
// allowed EOF behaviors.
//
// Implementations of Read are discouraged from returning a
// zero byte count with a nil error, and callers should treat
// that situation as a no-op.

// Write writes len(p) bytes from p to the underlying data stream.

// Write must return a non-nil error if it returns n < len(p).
// Write must not modify the slice data, even temporarily.

// Seek sets the offset for the next Read or Write to offset,

// the file, 1 means relative to the current offset, and 2 means
// relative to the end.  Seek returns the new offset and an error, if
// any.

// underlying input source.  It returns the number of bytes
// read (0 <= n <= len(p)) and any error encountered.
//
// When ReadAt returns n < len(p), it returns a non-nil error
// explaining why more bytes were not returned.  In this respect,
// ReadAt is stricter than Read.
//
// Even if ReadAt returns n < len(p), it may use all of p as scratch
// space during the call.  If some data is available but not len(p) bytes,
// ReadAt blocks until either all the data is available or an error occurs.
// In this respect ReadAt is different from Read.
//
// If the n = len(p) bytes returned by ReadAt are at the end of the
// input source, ReadAt may return either err == EOF or err == nil.
//
// If ReadAt is reading from an input source with a seek offset,
// ReadAt should not affect nor be affected by the underlying
// seek offset.
