11/// The `BufReader<R>` struct adds buffering to any reader.
12///
13/// It can be excessively inefficient to work directly with a [`Read`] instance.
14/// For example, every call to [`read`][`TcpStream::read`] on [`TcpStream`]
15/// results in a system call. A `BufReader<R>` performs large, infrequent reads on
16/// the underlying [`Read`] and maintains an in-memory buffer of the results.
17///
18/// `BufReader<R>` can improve the speed of programs that make *small* and
19/// *repeated* read calls to the same file or network socket. It does not
20/// help when reading very large amounts at once, or reading just one or a few
21/// times. It also provides no advantage when reading from a source that is
22/// already in memory, like a <code>[Vec]\<u8></code>.
23///
24/// When the `BufReader<R>` is dropped, the contents of its buffer will be
25/// discarded. Creating multiple instances of a `BufReader<R>` on the same
26/// stream can cause data loss. Reading from the underlying reader after
27/// unwrapping the `BufReader<R>` with [`BufReader::into_inner`] can also cause
28/// data loss.
