It doesn't make any sense to pass a pointer to the array to read(2).
It might make sense to pass a pointer to the first element of the array,
but that is already implicitly done when passing the array, which decays
to that pointer, so it's simpler to pass the array.
And anyway, the cast was unneeded, as any pointer is implicitly casted
to `void *`.
