257 * \note The function can return false even though the current stream position
258 * is equal to the stream size. It will return true after the following attempt
259 * to read more than zero bytes.
261 * \note It might be possible to read after the end of the stream.
262 * It implies the size of the stream increased asynchronously in the mean time.
263 * Streams of most types cannot trigger such a case,
264 * but regular local files notably can.

267 * the end-of-stream is reached. But that rule is not enforced; it is entirely
