There may be one or two arguments to the directives.
If there are two, the first is a bit mask of flags,
which can be written as numeric expressions, added or or-ed together,
or can be set symbolically for easier absorption by a human.

func discard(r io.Reader, n int64) error {
	// If possible, Seek to the last byte before the end of the data section.
	// Do this because Seek is often lazy about reporting errors; this will mask
	// the fact that the stream may be truncated. We can rely on the
	// io.CopyN done shortly afterwards to trigger any IO errors.
	var seekSkipped int64 // Number of bytes skipped via Seek
