/* Suppose that you are a shell. You start child processes.
 * They work and eventually exit. You want to get user input.
 * You read stdin. But what happens if last child switched
 * its stdin into O_NONBLOCK mode?
 *
 * *** SURPRISE! It will affect the parent too! ***
 * *** BIG SURPRISE! It stays even after child exits! ***
 *
 * This is a design bug in UNIX API.
 *      fcntl(0, F_SETFL, fcntl(0, F_GETFL, 0) | O_NONBLOCK);
 * will set nonblocking mode not only on _your_ stdin, but
 * also on stdin of your parent, etc.
 *
 * In general,
 *      fd2 = dup(fd1);
 *      fcntl(fd2, F_SETFL, fcntl(fd2, F_GETFL, 0) | O_NONBLOCK);
 * sets both fd1 and fd2 to O_NONBLOCK. This includes cases
 * where duping is done implicitly by fork() etc.
 *
 * We need
 *      fcntl(fd2, F_SETFD, fcntl(fd2, F_GETFD, 0) | O_NONBLOCK);
 * (note SETFD, not SETFL!) but such thing doesn't exist.
 *
 * Alternatively, we need nonblocking_read(fd, ...) which doesn't
 * require O_NONBLOCK dance at all. Actually, it exists:
 *      n = recv(fd, buf, len, MSG_DONTWAIT);
 *      "MSG_DONTWAIT:
 *      Enables non-blocking operation; if the operation
 *      would block, EAGAIN is returned."
 * but recv() works only for sockets!
 *
 * So far I don't see any good solution, I can only propose
 * that affected readers should be careful and use this routine,
 * which detects EAGAIN and uses poll() to wait on the fd.
 * Thankfully, poll() doesn't care about O_NONBLOCK flag.
