package util import ( "fmt" "io" ) // Shortcut function to read n bytes from reader. The general idea peeked from here: https://github.com/dhowden/tag/blob/master/util.go func Read(rs io.Reader, n uint64) ([]byte, error) { read := make([]byte, n) _, err := rs.Read(read) if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("could not read from reader: %s", err) } return read, nil } // Reads from rs and conversts read []byte into string, ignoring all non-printable or // invalid characters. func ReadToString(rs io.Reader, n uint64) (string, error) { read := make([]byte, n) _, err := rs.Read(read) if err != nil { return "", fmt.Errorf("could not read from reader: %s", err) } return ToString(read), nil }
