package/ to help with testing of "Read()" failures...?

[Eric Johnson]

Looks like iotest package provides tools to simulate various weird read behaviors.

However, I want to simulate a failure, instead of just a slowdown or a change in whether the EOF error is returned after the last full read. Something like "ReadFailAfterN" which will trigger a non-EOF error after N bytes read....

Googling for various combinations of keywords hasn't gotten me very far, because "fail" and "error" come up too commonly.

Anything out there?

Eric.

Not sure whether this is for network tests, this package might help you, at least as inspiration/starting point:
