readUtf8Line

common
abstract fun readUtf8Line(): String?

Removes and returns characters up to but not including the next line break. A line break is either "\n" or "\r\n"; these characters are not included in the result.

Buffer buffer = new Buffer()
.writeUtf8("I'm a hacker!\n")
.writeUtf8("That's what I said: you're a nerd.\n")
.writeUtf8("I prefer to be called a hacker!\n");
assertEquals(81, buffer.size());

assertEquals("I'm a hacker!", buffer.readUtf8Line());
assertEquals(67, buffer.size());

assertEquals("That's what I said: you're a nerd.", buffer.readUtf8Line());
assertEquals(32, buffer.size());

assertEquals("I prefer to be called a hacker!", buffer.readUtf8Line());
assertEquals(0, buffer.size());

assertEquals(null, buffer.readUtf8Line());
assertEquals(0, buffer.size());

On the end of the stream this method returns null, just like java.io.BufferedReader. If the source doesn't end with a line break then an implicit line break is assumed. Null is returned once the source is exhausted. Use this for human-generated data, where a trailing line break is optional.
