DataInputStream.readUntil

Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters. Note that, in contrast to g_data_input_stream_read_until_async(), this function consumes the stop character that it finds. Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with g_data_input_stream_read_until_async(). Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use g_data_input_stream_read_upto() instead, but note that that function does not consume the stop character.
