Tries to read count bytes from the stream into the buffer.
Will block during this read.
If count is zero, returns zero and does nothing. A value of count larger than
g_maxssize will cause a g_io_error_invalid_argument error.
On success, the number of bytes read into the buffer is returned. It is not an error if this is not the same as the requested size, as it
can happen e.g. near the end of a file. Zero is returned on end of file (or if count is zero), but never otherwise.
If count is -1 then the attempted read size is equal to the number of bytes that are required to fill the buffer.
If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the
cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error g_io_error_cancelled
will be returned. If an operation was partially finished when the operation was cancelled the partial result will be returned, without an
error.
On error -1 is returned and throws is set accordingly.
For the asynchronous, non-blocking, version of this function, see fill_async.
