/// # Parameters
///
/// - `f`: A mutable reference to a `fmt::Formatter` where the formatted output
///   will be written.
/// - `indent`: The number of spaces to indent the content.
/// - `content`: The string content to be indented and written.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A `fmt::Result` indicating the success or failure of the formatting operation.

/// This function reads data from a type that implements the `Read` trait until
/// it encounters a null byte or the end of the stream. It collects the read
/// bytes into a vector and returns it.
///
/// # Type Parameters
///
/// - `R`: A type that implements the `Read` trait.
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - `reader`: A mutable reference to the reader from which bytes are to be read.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A `Result` containing a `Vec<u8>` with the read bytes, or an `io::Error` if
/// an error occurs during reading.

/// number of bytes have been skipped or when the end of the stream is reached.
///
/// # Type Parameters
///
/// - `R`: A type that implements the `Read` trait.
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - `reader`: A mutable reference to the reader from which bytes are to be skipped.
/// - `n`: The number of bytes to skip.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A `Result` indicating the success or failure of the skip operation.
/// The function returns `Ok(())` if successful, or an `io::Error` if an error occurs.
