export interface Reader {
  // read() reads up to p.byteLength bytes into p. It returns the number of
  // bytes read (0 <= n <= p.byteLength) and any error encountered. Even if
  // read() returns n < p.byteLength, it may use all of p as scratch space
  // during the call. If some data is available but not p.byteLength 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 EOF. 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 p.byteLength == 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.

  // write() writes p.byteLength bytes from p to the underlying data stream. It
  // returns the number of bytes written from p (0 <= n <= p.byteLength) and any
  // error encountered that caused the write to stop early. write() must return
  // a non-nil error if it returns n < p.byteLength. write() must not modify the
  // slice data, even temporarily.

  // according to whence: SeekStart means relative to the start of the file,
  // SeekCurrent means relative to the current offset, and SeekEnd means
  // relative to the end. Seek returns the new offset relative to the start of
  // the file and an error, if any.
  //
  // Seeking to an offset before the start of the file is an error. Seeking to
  // any positive offset is legal, but the behavior of subsequent I/O operations
  // on the underlying object is implementation-dependent.
