Problem with using uv_fs_read

[Bodo Kaiser]

Hello,

I would like to read the content of a text file.

To achieve this I have written following file:

https://gist.github.com/bodokaiser/55e44ecb18a9705585b6

I now have two problems with my current implementation:

1. on_read is only called once.
Because of this I have to add another close to the reading if (line 52)

2. result code of on_close indicates an error.
For some reason result in line 59 equals -1 which should indicate an error.

Would be glad to hear what I have done wrong ;)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but you call
uv_fs_read(on_read) only once, therefore on_read is called only once.

From the gist:

uv_fs_close(loop, &close_req, result, on_close);

`result` is the number of bytes read, not the file descriptor.

Yep, misinterpreted the header file. Sorry for wasting your time.
