  Gnulib module: stdio, nonblocking
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
  @itemize
  @item
  When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
  fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
  some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function should never be used, because it can overflow any given buffer.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
  upon failure.
  @end itemize
