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.
