  /// file has not been reached.
  ///
  /// This function reads into a buffer that the caller supplies. This buffer
  /// must remain valid as long as the FileIO resource is alive. If you use
  /// a completion callback factory and it goes out of scope, it will not issue
  /// the callback on your class, BUT the callback factory can NOT cancel
  /// the request from the browser's perspective. This means that the browser
  /// will still try to write to your buffer even if the callback factory is
  /// destroyed!
  ///
  /// So you must ensure that your buffer outlives the FileIO resource. If you
  /// have one class and use the FileIO resource exclusively from that class
  /// and never make any copies, this will be fine: the resource will be
  /// destroyed when your class is. But keep in mind that copying a pp::FileIO
  /// object just creates a second reference to the original resource. For
  /// example, if you have a function like this:
  ///   pp::FileIO MyClass::GetFileIO();
  /// where a copy of your FileIO resource could outlive your class, the
  /// callback will still be pending when your class goes out of scope, creating
  /// the possibility of writing into invalid memory. So it's recommended to
  /// keep your FileIO resource and any output buffers tightly controlled in
  /// the same scope.
  ///
  /// <strong>Caveat:</strong> This Read() is potentially unsafe if you're using
  /// a CompletionCallbackFactory to scope callbacks to the lifetime of your
  /// class.  When your class goes out of scope, the callback factory will not
  /// actually cancel the callback, but will rather just skip issuing the
  /// callback on your class.  This means that if the FileIO object outlives
  /// your class (if you made a copy saved somewhere else, for example), then
  /// the browser will still try to write into your buffer when the
  /// asynchronous read completes, potentially causing a crash.
