- read ?-nonewline? fileId
- read fileId numBytes
-

- DESCRIPTION
- In the first form, all of the remaining bytes are read from
- the file given by fileId; they are returned as the result of
- the command. If the -nonewline switch is specified then the
- last character of the file is discarded if it is a newline.
- In the second form, the extra argument specifies how many
- bytes to read; exactly this many bytes will be read and
- returned, unless there are fewer than numBytes bytes left in
- the file; in this case, all the remaining bytes are
- returned. FileId must be stdin or the return value from a
- previous call to open; it must refer to a file that was
- opened for reading.
