docstring: Read at most size bytes from the file (less if the read
          hits EOF or no more data is immediately available on a pipe,
          tty or similar device). If the size argument is negative or
          omitted, read all data until EOF is reached. The bytes are
          returned as a string object. An empty string is returned when
          EOF is encountered immediately. (For certain files, like ttys,
          it makes sense to continue reading after an EOF is hit.)
