is there: await stream.read(n); // ? exactly n

[axkibe]

So I'm writing a protocol handler now in 2024. The protocol is designed in a comfort way that I always know how many bytes to handle next... So is there any way to "await stream.read( n );" which resolves once n bytes are available?

I cannot find anything like this. Yes of course I can also write a state machine like in the node old days, nor does await iterator help, since againa state machine is the required nevertheless (and these are so unhuman to write). And I guess I could a build a promise resolve framework arouhnd the stream myself, so I get a readable linear readable protocol handler, but honestly dealing with promises that way is complicated.

But did I overlook it, or is native node not able to do that? Which IMO would be a quite sensible request in an async/await world.
