I suspect you’re still on 0.5.0, but reading the documentation for 0.6-dev. On 0.5, use the [`takebuf_array` or `takebuf_string`](http://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/stdlib/io-network/?highlight=takebuf_string#Base.takebuf_string) functions. You can use [Compat.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Compat.jl) to use the new 0.6 names on previous versions of Julia.
