Hey all,

I know that read-io and write-io are supposed to be low-level
and undocumented, but I see them all the time in web code so
I'll ask anyways...

What is the meaning of the integer returned by *-io?

How are they supposed to behave when passed negative lengths?

Do they only work on network ports, or do they also work on
file ports? If they are supposed to work on file ports, why
does read-io stop working before the end of the file?

If you aren't supposed to use them, what documented function
can you use that performs their function?

Help?
