/* Read LEN bytes at PTR from descriptor DESC, retrying if interrupted.
Return the actual number of bytes read, zero upon EOF,
or SAFE_READ_ERROR upon error.
Abort if LEN is SAFE_READ_ERROR (aka `(size_t) -1').
WARNING: although both LEN and the return value are of type size_t,
the range of the return value is restricted -- by virtue of being
returned from read(2) -- and will never be larger than SSIZE_MAX,
with the exception of SAFE_READ_ERROR, of course.
So don't test `safe_read (..., N) == N' unless you're sure that
N <= SSIZE_MAX. */
