+///
+/// This is the async equivalent of `std::fs::read`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use tokio::fs;
+///
+/// # async fn dox() -> std::io::Result<()> {
+/// let contents = fs::read("foo.txt").await?;
+/// println!("foo.txt contains {} bytes", contents.len());
+/// # Ok(())
+/// # }
