>From the man page:
EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket
and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read
would block.
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked
nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001
allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not
require these constants to have the same value, so a portable
application should check for both possibilities.
So if we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK error the fd must be nonblocking.
As the intend of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
