NAME
       read, readv - Reads from a file

SUN OS SYNOPSIS
       int read(
	       int filedes,
	       char *buffer,
	       int nbytes );

       #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/uio.h>
       int readv(
	       int filedes,
	       struct iovec *iov,
	       int iov_count );

DIGITAL UNIX SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h> ssize_t read(
	       int filedes,
	       void *buffer,
	       size_t nbytes );

       #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/uio.h>
       ssize_t readv(
	       int filedes,
	       struct iovec *iov,
	       int iov_count );

PARAMETERS
       Identifies  the	file from which data is read.  Points to the buffer to
       receive data read.  Specifies the number of bytes to read from the file
       associated  with	 the  filedes  parameter.  Points to an array of iovec
       structures which identifies the buffers into which the data  is	to  be
       placed.	 The  iovec  structure is defined in the sys/uio.h header file
       and contains the following members:
	      caddr_t  iov_base; int	  iov_len;
       Specifies the number of iovec structures pointed to by the iov  parameā€
       ter.

DIFFERENCES
       Requires sys/types.h and uio.h.	Changes in declaration types.
