+</ul>
+
+
+
+
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<ul>
+
+ <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all requested data
+ is read at once.
+ You have to check the return value - the length of the buffer actually read -
+ or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
+
+ <li>The length of the return buffer is limited by the (compile time)
+ nixio buffersize which is <em>nixio.const.buffersize</em> (8192 by default).
+ Any read request greater than that will be safely truncated to this value.
+
+</ul>
+
+
+
+<h3>Return values:</h3>
+<ol>
