>    When [EOF is] received, all the bytes waiting to be read are
>    immediately passed to the process without waiting for a <newline>, and
>    the EOF is discarded. Thus, if there are no bytes waiting (that is,
>    the EOF occurred at the beginning of a line), a byte count of zero
>    shall be returned from the read(), representing an end-of-file
>    indication.
