*** 118,126 ****
FIFOs and sockets under most Unixes (including Linux in particular),
the ``size'' is the number of bytes waiting to be read at the time of
! the stat(2)/fstat(2)/lstat(2) call; this can sometimes be useful,
! especially for polling one of these special files after a non-blocking
! open. The meaning of the size field for other character and block
! devices varies more, depending on the local implementation of the
! underlying system call.
Example:
