According to Bruno Haible on 3/6/2008 2:41 PM:
| However, I would prefer API changes as follows:
| - freadahead keeps its signature but returns the total buffered bytes
count.
| - freadptr is changed to also return the size of the buffer.
| extern const char * freadptr (FILE *stream, size_t *sizep);
| When the return value is non-NULL, *sizep is set to the size of the
| buffer whose address is the return value.
Sounds fine to me. In particular, it means that freadptr is now usable
without any dependency on freadahead.
