They are not, but
“The value returned may be less than nbyte if the number of bytes left
in the file is less than nbyte, if the read() request was interrupted by
a signal, or if the file is a pipe or FIFO or special file and has fewer
than nbyte bytes immediately available for reading.”
The latter is exactly our case.
