Summary
Readtrait explaining how it differs from tokio'sAsyncReadReadon a custom struct usingput_sliceReadBufCursordocumentation with examples for both safe (put_slice) and unsafe (as_mut/advance) usage patternsMotivation
Users have reported confusion when trying to implement the
Readtrait, as the documentation was sparse and the relationship betweenReadBufCursormethods was unclear. The new documentation provides practical guidance with working examples.Fixes #3649
