+Read into a :ref:`buffer protocol <bufferobjects>` object from a file descriptor.

+The buffer should be mutable and accept bytes. On success, returns the number of
+bytes read. Less bytes may be read than the size of the buffer. Will retry the
+underlying system call when interrupted by a signal. For other errors, the
+system call will not be retried.
