In the work-around, we need to watch out for what 'man 2 read' on Mac OS refers to as "normal file":
==
Upon successful completion, read(), readv(), and pread() return the number of bytes actually read and placed in the buffer. *The system guarantees to read the number of bytes requested if the descriptor references a normal file that has that many bytes left before the end-of-file*, but in no other case.
==
I am guessing that fstat() + S_ISREG() can be used to discern "normal files" from other types of file descriptors. |
