/* Some system calls may be interrupted and fail with errno = EINTR in the
following situations:
- The process is stopped and restarted (signal SIGSTOP and SIGCONT, user
types Ctrl-Z) on some platforms: Mac OS X.
- The process receives a signal for which a signal handler was installed
with sigaction() with an sa_flags field that does not contain
SA_RESTART.
- The process receives a signal for which a signal handler was installed
with signal() and for which no call to siginterrupt(sig,0) was done,
on some platforms: AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, OSF/1, Solaris.
This module provides a wrapper around read() that handles EINTR. */
