+ * @param aFromSegment pointer to memory owned by the input stream.  This is

+ * @param aToOffset amount of data already consumed by this writer during this
+ *                  ReadSegments call.  This is also the sum of the aWriteCount

+ *                  the writer by this ReadSegments call.
+ * @param aCount Number of bytes available to be read starting at aFromSegment
+ * @param [out] aWriteCount number of bytes read by this writer function call
+ *
+ * Implementers should return the following:
+ *
+ * @return NS_OK and (*aWriteCount > 0) if consumed some data
+ * @return <any-error> if not interested in consuming any data
+ *
+ * Errors are never passed to the caller of ReadSegments.

+ * "blocking" or "non-blocking" (see the IsNonBlocking method).  A blocking
+ * input stream may suspend the calling thread in order to satisfy a call to
+ * Close, Available, Read, or ReadSegments.  A non-blocking input stream, on
+ * the other hand, must not block the calling thread of execution.
+ *
+ * NOTE: blocking input streams are often read on a background thread to avoid
+ * locking up the main application thread.  For this reason, it is generally
+ * the case that a blocking input stream should be implemented using thread-
+ * safe AddRef and Release.
