For 69.Nm eread 70and 71.Nm ewrite 72this is also true for partial data. 73.Pp 74This is useful in applications when there is no need for a more 75advanced failure mode. 76.Sh SEE ALSO 77.Xr read 2 , 78.Xr write 2 , 79.Xr calloc 3 , 80.Xr errx 3 , 81.Xr malloc 3 , 82.Xr realloc 3 , 83.Xr setenv 3 , 84.Xr strdup 3 85
