You're mixing binary and text mode functions. read() is binary,

But I agree that the docs need improvement. And maybe the API.
You're missing the point. The point is that the "text mode" is
bug-prone, grossly obsolete, and completely useless and therefore should
absolutely not be the default, *if* it has any reason to even exist at
all.
Text mode isn't going away, I don't know where you'd get that idea from.
I'm sure Microsoft wants Linux to go away, too. If you want a to
finance a FUD campaign to hurt the reputation of text mode, be my guest.
Or keep on ranting, who's gonna stop you.
