- Stream, Socket resource, or numeric file descriptor

`length`

- Maximum number of bytes to read.

`offset`

- Offset within the file.

`pri`

- &eio.request.pri.values;

### `eio_read` example

    <?php
    // Open a temporary file and write some bytes there
    $temp_filename = "eio-temp-file.tmp";
    $fp = fopen($temp_filename, "w");
    fwrite($fp, "1234567890");
    fclose($fp);

    /* Is called when eio_read() is done */
    function my_read_cb($data, $result) {
        global $temp_filename;

     // Output read bytes
        var_dump($result);

     // Close file
        eio_close($data);
        eio_event_loop();

     // Remove temporary file
        @unlink($temp_filename);
    }

    /* Is called when eio_open() is done */
    function my_file_opened_callback($data, $result) {
     // $result should contain the file descriptor
        if ($result > 0) {
      // Read 5 bytes starting from third
            eio_read($result, 5, 2, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_read_cb", $result);
            eio_event_loop();
        } else {
      // eio_open() failed
            unlink($data);
        }
    }

    // Open the file for reading and writing
    eio_open($temp_filename, EIO_O_RDWR, NULL,
        EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_file_opened_callback", $temp_filename);
    eio_event_loop();
    ?>
