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

28 This module provides a wrapper around read() that handles EINTR. */
