I haven't had time to check, but I suspect -1 is what it's giving.
I disagree with your reading of the standard though: -1 means failure,
and in a failure case there is not any specification about what went
into the buffer. I am prepared to agree that if the result is positive,
then the buffer should have been filled to min(result, buflen) bytes.
