7 Gnulib module: stdio, nonblocking
9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
12 This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
15 When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
16 fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
21 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
24 This function may fail with error @code{EINTR}, even in programs that don't
25 install any signal handlers, on some platforms:
29 For handling @code{EINTR}, Gnulib provides a module @samp{safe-read} with a
30 function @code{safe_read}.
