take_until/3

take_until(Binary::Binary, Pattern::Pattern, Size::Size) -> Result

• Binary = bin()
• Pattern = bin()
• Size = int()
• Result = {ok, UntilPattern, Rest} | {error, {not_found, Pattern, UntilSize}}
• UntilPattern = bin()
• Rest = bin()
• Prefix = bin()

Gets the leading octets of a Binary until Pattern is found or Size octets are inspected.

If found before Size bytes are consumed, a binary with the leading octets UntilPattern is returned along the remainder of the binary.

Pattern is not included in the response, nor removed from Binary.

If Pattern is not found within the first Size octets of Binary, an error is reported, Pattern and the first Size bytes are returned as additional information.
