About http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/read.2.html, there's just a
bit of wrapping necessary:
nothrow @trusted @nogc
ssize_t read(int fd, ubyte[] buf)
{
return read(fd, buf.ptr, buf.length);
}
(btw void[] doesn't work)

A suite of safe wrappers on OS primitives might be useful.
Great idea! Should it be a package on its own, or should we put the
wrappers inside the original files?
That is, do we make
core.sys.safe.posix.unistd: read
or do we make
core.sys.posix.unistd: safe_read
?
My preference is for the former, since it's very nice to have a pristine
copy of the header file.
Same here. I'd preserve the function name though. -- Andrei
