Type of I/O errors
The occurred exception (e.g. Unix_error, End_of_file)
read ?min_len fd ?pos ?len bstr reads at least min_len (must be
greater than or equal zero) and at most len (must be greater than
or equal to min_len) bytes from file descriptor fd, and writes
them to bigstring bstr starting at position pos.
read returns zero only if len = 0. If len > 0 and there's nothing left to read,
read raises to indicate EOF even if min_len = 0.len is zero, there may still be errors when reading
from the descriptor!

    really_read fd ?pos ?len bstr reads len bytes from file descriptor
fd, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at position pos.
length bstr - pos
        
    really_recv sock ?pos ?len bstr receives len bytes from socket
sock, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at position
pos. If len is zero, the function returns immediately without
performing the underlying system call.

    recvfrom_assume_fd_is_nonblocking sock ?pos ?len bstr reads up to
len bytes into bigstring bstr starting at position pos from
socket sock without yielding to other OCaml-threads.

    read_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ?pos ?len bstr reads up to
len bytes into bigstring bstr starting at position pos from
file descriptor fd without yielding to other OCaml-threads.

    pread_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ~offset ?pos ?len bstr reads up to len bytes
from file descriptor fd at offset offset, and writes them to bigstring bstr
starting at position pos. The fd must be capable of seeking, and the current file
offset used for a regular read() is unchanged. Please see 'man pread' for more
information.
length bstr - pos
        
    input ?min_len ic ?pos ?len bstr tries to read len bytes
(guarantees to read at least min_len bytes (must be greater than
or equal to zero and smaller or equal to len), if possible, before
returning) from input channel ic, and writes them to bigstring
bstr starting at position pos.
len is zero, there may still be errors when reading
from the descriptor, which will be done if the internal buffer
is empty!len characters are available in the input channel
buffer and if len is not zero, data will only be fetched from the
channel buffer. Otherwise data will be read until at least min_len
characters are available.

    really_input ic ?pos ?len bstr reads exactly len bytes from
input channel ic, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at
position pos.

    really_write fd ?pos ?len bstr writes len bytes in bigstring
bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd.

    really_send_no_sigpipe sock ?pos ?len bstr sends len bytes in
bigstring bstr starting at position pos to socket sock without
blocking and ignoring SIGPIPE.
length bstr - posreally_send_no_sigpipe is not implemented on some platforms, in which
case it is an Error value that indicates that it is unimplemented.

bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file
descriptor fd.

    pwrite_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ~offset ?pos ?len bstr writes up to len bytes
of bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd at position
offset. The fd must be capable of seeking, and the current file offset used for
non-positional read()/write() calls is unchanged.
length bstr - pos
        
    write_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ?pos ?len bstr writes len
bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file
descriptor fd without yielding to other OCaml-threads.

    recvmmsg_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd iovecs ~count ~lens receives up to count
messages into iovecs from file descriptor fd without yielding to other OCaml
threads. If ~count is supplied, it must be that 0 <= count <= Array.length
    iovecs. If ~srcs is supplied, save the source addresses for corresponding recieved
messages there. If supplied, Array.length srcs must be >= count. Save the
lengths of the received messages in lens. It is required that Array.length lens >=
    count.
If an IOVec isn't long enough for its corresponding message, excess bytes may be
discarded, depending on the type of socket the message is received from. While the
recvmmsg system call itself does return details of such truncation, etc., those
details are not (yet) passed through this interface.

    output ?min_len oc ?pos ?len bstr tries to output

equal to or greater than zero), if possible, before returning) from
bigstring bstr starting at position pos to output channel oc.
