TTYs in ICANON mode have a special case that allows "pushing" a line without a regular EOL character (like newline), by using EOF (the EOT character - ASCII 0x4) as a pseudo-EOL. It is silently discarded, so the reader of the PTS will receive the line *without* EOF or any other terminating character. This special case has an edge case: What happens if the readers buffer is the same size as the line (without EOF)? Will they be able to tell if the whole line is received, i.e. if the next read() will return more of the same line or the next line? There are two possibilities, that both have (dis)advantages: 1. The next read() returns 0. FreeBSD (13.0) and OSX (10.11) do this. Advantage: The reader can interpret this as "the line is over". Disadvantage: read() returning 0 means EOF, the reader could also interpret it as "there's no more data" and stop reading or even close the PT. 2. The next read() returns the next line, the EOF is silently discarded. Solaris (or at least OpenIndiana 2021.10) does this, Linux has done do this since commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
