.SH NAME
flow_read, flow_write \- read and write from/to a flow
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <ouroboros/dev.h>
\fBint flow_read(int \fIfd\fB, void * \fIbuf\fB, size_t \fIcount\fB);\fR
\fBint flow_write(int \fIfd\fB, const void * \fIbuf\fB, size_t \fIcount\fB);\fR
Compile and link with \fI-louroboros\fR.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBflow_read\fR() function attempts to read at most \fIcount\fR
bytes from the flow associated with the allocated flow descriptor
\fIfd\fR into the buffer pointed to by buf.
The \fBflow_write\fR() function attempts to write \fIcount\fR bytes
from the supplied buffer \fIbuf\fR to the flow specified by \fIfd\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, \fBflow_read\fR() returns the number of bytes read. On
failure, a negative value indicating the error will be returned.
On success, \fBflow_write\fR() returns 0. On failure, a negative value
indicating the error will be returned. Passing a NULL pointer for
\fIbuf\fR returns 0 with no other effects.
.SH ERRORS
.B -EINVAL
An invalid argument was passed.
.B -EIRMD
Failed to contact an IRMd instance.
.B -EBADF
