This is a point-in-time snapshot of the API documentation from January 2026. Going forward, we will not be maintaining a public copy of these references, and recommend users to refer to the built-in signature helpers available in the Hack LSP instead for complete and up-to-date information.

public function readByteAsync(
?int $timeout_ns = NULL,
): Awaitable<string>;

Fails with EPIPE if the handle is closed or otherwise unreadable.
