DataInputStream.readUpto

Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters. In contrast to g_data_input_stream_read_until(), this function does not consume the stop character. You have to use g_data_input_stream_read_byte() to get it before calling g_data_input_stream_read_upto() again. Note that stop_chars may contain '\0' if stop_chars_len is specified. Since 2.24
