Read a basic type or counted string, throwing a ReadException if it could not be read. Outside of byte, ubyte, and char, the format is implementation-specific and should not be used except as opposite actions to write.
The first call is somewhat special in that it reads a block of data to fill the buffer array. It reads buffer.length bytes at maximum and returns the number of bytes read.
