read_nonblock(...) public

Reads at most maxlen bytes from ios using read(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.

If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data.

read_nonblock just calls read(2). It causes all errors read(2) causes: EAGAIN, EINTR, etc. The caller should care such errors.

read_nonblock causes EOFError on EOF.

If the read buffer is not empty, read_nonblock reads from the buffer like readpartial. In this case, read(2) is not called.
