• The APPLICATION USAGE section is removed.
• The description of [EINTR] is amended.
Issue 4, Version 2
The following changes are incorporated for X/OPEN UNIX conformance:
• The
readv() function is added to the SYNOPSIS.
• The DESCRIPTION is updated to describe the reading of data from
STREAMS files. An opera-
tional description of the
readv() function is also added.
• References to the readv() function are added to the RETURN VALUE and ERRORS sections in
appropriate places.
• The ERRORS section has been restructured to describe errors that apply generally (that is, to both
read() and readv()), and to describe those that apply to
readv() specifically. The
[EBADMSG], [EINVAL], and [EISDIR] errors are also added.
