Method read_bytes

tornado/iostream.py:400–426

Asynchronously read a number of bytes. If ``partial`` is true, data is returned as soon as we have any bytes to return (but never more than ``num_bytes``) .. versionchanged:: 4.0 Added the ``partial`` argument. The callback argument is now optional

(self, num_bytes: int, partial: bool = False)
