48 /* Derived from GNU libc's getline.
49 The behavior is almost the same as getline. See man getline.
50 The differences are
51 (1) using file descriptor instead of FILE *,
52 (2) the order of arguments; the file descriptor comes the first, and
53 (3) the addtion of thired argument, UNBUFFERED_READ; this argument
54 controls whether get_line uses buffering or not to get a byte data
55 from FD. get_line uses zreadc if UNBUFFERED_READ is zero; and
56 uses zread if UNBUFFERED_READ is non-zero.
58 Returns number of bytes read or -1 on error. */
