Is there a standard way to name a function that reads from a stream but does not advance the pointer?

Question

I can only think about Peek () and ReadNoAdvance () atm, but I'm wondering if there are better or standard options.

Thank.

I saw ReadAhead (), but I think Peek () is more standard.

When writing parsers, I often used lookahead.
