Buffered reader

Creating a buffered reader will store a memory buffer with some of the contents. A buffered reader also provides some more functions that are not available on the os.File or io.Reader types. The default buffer size is 4096 and the minimum size is 16. Buffered readers provide a set of useful functions. Some of the functions available include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Read(): This is to read data into a byte slice
• Peek(): This is to inspect the next bytes without moving the file cursor
• ReadByte(): This is to read a single byte
• UnreadByte(): This unreads the last byte read
• ReadBytes(): This reads bytes until the specified delimiter is reached
• ReadString(): This reads a string until the specified delimiter is reached ...
