// 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.
//
// 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, except when len(p) == 0.
// Callers should treat a return of 0 and nil as indicating that
// nothing happened; in particular it does not indicate EOF.
//
// Implementations must not retain p.

// SeekEnd means relative to the end.
// Seek returns the new offset relative to the start of the

//
// When ReadAt returns n < len(p), it returns a non-nil error

// 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,
