/// [std]: std::fs::read
///
/// This is a convenience function for using [`File::open`] and [`read_to_end`]
/// with fewer imports and without an intermediate variable. It pre-allocates a
/// buffer based on the file size when available, so it is generally faster than
/// reading into a vector created with `Vec::new()`.
///
/// [`File::open`]: super::File::open
/// [`read_to_end`]: crate::io::AsyncReadExt::read_to_end
///
/// # Errors
///
/// This function will return an error if `path` does not already exist.
/// Other errors may also be returned according to [`OpenOptions::open`].
///
/// [`OpenOptions::open`]: super::OpenOptions::open
///
/// It will also return an error if it encounters while reading an error
/// of a kind other than [`ErrorKind::Interrupted`].
///
/// [`ErrorKind::Interrupted`]: std::io::ErrorKind::Interrupted
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```no_run
/// use tokio::fs;
/// use std::net::SocketAddr;
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + 'static>> {
/// let contents = fs::read("address.txt").await?;
/// let foo: SocketAddr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&contents).parse()?;
/// Ok(())
/// }
