* the pipe.

* will be updated if appropriate; 0 will be returned if there is no more data
* to be read; -EAGAIN will be returned if the pipe had no space, and some
* other negative error code will be returned on error. A short read may occur
* if the pipe has insufficient space, we reach the end of the data or we hit a
* hole.
