:title: Shellcode Compiler Runtime

|
|
|

|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
ssize_t read(int fd, void* buf, size_t count);
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reads `count` bytes from the file handle `fd`, and places the result in `buf`. Returns the number of bytes read, or
|
||
|
|
the negation of the error code on error. It is possible for the number of bytes read to be smaller than the number
|
||
|
|
of bytes requested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT: If the system call is interrupted, this function will return `-EINTR`. This differs from most C runtimes,
|
||
|
|
where `-1` is returned with `errno` set to `EINTR`. As this runtime does not have `errno`, callers should check
|
||
|
|
for `-EINTR` and a result less than zero in the error checking code.
