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 DataInputStream.readUntilAsync, this function consumes the stop character that it finds.

Don't use this function in new code. Its functionality is inconsistent with DataInputStream.readUntilAsync. Both functions will be marked as deprecated in a future release. Use DataInputStream.readUpto instead, but note that that function does not consume the stop character.
