What did you do?

What did you expect to see?

go/src/io/ioutil/ioutil.go

Line 7 in f046180

// Deprecated: As of Go 1.16, the same functionality is now provided

The lines states that ioutil is deprecated and io provides the same fucntionality. However, io doesn't provide ReadFile. So, I expected to see a implementation of the same in io but didn't find one.

It says:

the same functionality is now provided by package io or package os

Emphasis on "or package os". The new ReadFile function is in package os, as the documentation says:

Deprecated: As of Go 1.16, this function simply calls os.ReadFile
