+   each.  Fetch at most FETCHLIMIT characters.  BUFFER will be set to a newly
+   allocated buffer containing the string, which the caller is responsible to
+   free, and BYTES_READ will be set to the number of bytes read.  Returns 0 on
+   success, or errno on failure.
+
+   If LEN > 0, reads exactly LEN characters (including eventual NULs in
+   the middle or end of the string).  If LEN is -1, stops at the first
+   null character (not necessarily the first null byte) up to a maximum
+   of FETCHLIMIT characters.  Set FETCHLIMIT to UINT_MAX to read as many
+   characters as possible from the string.
+
+   Unless an exception is thrown, BUFFER will always be allocated, even on
+   failure.  In this case, some characters might have been read before the
+   failure happened.  Check BYTES_READ to recognize this situation.
+
+   Note: There was a FIXME asking to make this code use target_read_string,
+   but this function is more general (can read past null characters, up to
+   given LEN). Besides, it is used much more often than target_read_string
+   so it is more tested.  Perhaps callers of target_read_string should use
+   this function instead?  */
