pollableStreamRead

Tries to read from @stream, as with g_input_stream_read() (if @blocking is %TRUE) or g_pollable_input_stream_read_nonblocking() (if @blocking is %FALSE). This can be used to more easily share code between blocking and non-blocking implementations of a method.

If @blocking is %FALSE, then @stream must be a #GPollableInputStream for which g_pollable_input_stream_can_poll() returns %TRUE, or else the behavior is undefined. If @blocking is %TRUE, then @stream does not need to be a #GPollableInputStream.
