EventBuffer::read — Read data from an evbuffer and drain the bytes read

Description

Read the first max_bytes from the buffer and drain the bytes read. If more max_bytes are requested than are available in the buffer, it only extracts as many bytes as available.

Return Values

Returns string read, or false on failure.

Changelog

Version	Description
