+POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fread.html}
+
+Gnulib module: stdio, nonblocking
+
+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
+@itemize
+@item
+When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
+fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
+some platforms:
+mingw, MSVC 9.
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
+upon failure.
+@item
+This function crashes if the stream's file descriptor has already been
+closed, if @code{MSVC_INVALID_PARAMETER_HANDLING} is
+@code{HAIRY_LIBRARY_HANDLING} or @code{SANE_LIBRARY_HANDLING},
+on some platforms:
+MSVC 9.
