From: =?UTF-8?B?0KXQsNGA0LjRgtC+0L3QvtCyINCV0LLQs9C10L3QuNC5?= <[email protected]> To: Bruce Cran <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: kern/147226: read(fd, buffer, len) returns -1 immediately, if len >=2147483648 Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:19:46 +0400 To summarize: 1) `man 2 read` on my FreeBSD (64-bit) says that read accepts only len <= INT_MAX (it's my fault that I missed this before creating the issue); 2) `man 2 read` on my Linux system states that up to SSIZE_MAX must be accepted; 3) POSIX states the same as (2). In other words this behavior is correct from FreeBSD's point of view, but FreeBSD does not meet standards here. Did I get it correctly? PS. It sounds pretty strange (at least for me) that 64-bit system cannot read 2Gb at a time. Also, surprisingly read(fd, buff, size_t len) doesn't work with "size_t len" ( which is 8 bytes long ) greater than "INT_MAX" (which is 4 bytes long).
