46          This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic
47          buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the
48          specified delimiter. The function call always returns immediately. The
49          asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions
50          is true:
51        </p>
52<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">

62          This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
63          async_read_some function, and is known as a <span class="emphasis"><em>composed operation</em></span>.
64          If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter,
65          this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure
66          that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async_read,
67          async_read_until, the stream's async_read_some function, or any other composed
68          operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.

124          After a successful async_read_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence
125          may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically
126          leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async_read_until
127          operation to examine.

152          After the <code class="computeroutput">async_read_until</code> operation completes successfully,
