Function read_bytes 

Source 
pub fn read_bytes<'a, T: ToFromBytes<'a>>(
    buffer: &'a [u8],
) -> Result<(T, usize), ToFromByteError>
Expand description

Low-level read: deserialize a value and return how many bytes were consumed.

Does NOT check for trailing bytes. Use this when:

  • You’re parsing multiple messages from one buffer
  • You’re implementing streaming parsers
  • You have a length prefix and want to stop exactly there

Do NOT use this function without confirming that the reader.pos is at the correct position afterwards. Silently ignoring trailing bytes is a common source of errors and security bugs.
