Bruno Haible 73899ad375 Support non-blocking pipe I/O in write() on native Windows.
* lib/write.c (rpl_write): Split a write request that failed merely
because the byte count was larger than the pipe buffer's size.
* doc/posix-functions/write.texi: Mention the problem with large byte
counts.

Gnulib module: write, nonblocking, sigpipe
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
@itemize
@item
When writing to a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is full, this function fails
with @code{errno} being set to @code{ENOSPC} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on some
platforms:
mingw.
@item
When writing to a non-blocking pipe on which no reader is currently waiting
an amount of bytes that exceeds the pipe buffer's size, then -- even if the
pipe's buffer is empty -- this function fails, instead of performing a partial
write into the pipe buffer, on some platforms:
mingw.
@end itemize
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{sigpipe}:
@itemize
@item
When writing to a pipe with no readers, this function fails with error
@code{EINVAL}, instead of obeying the current @code{SIGPIPE} handler, on
some platforms:
mingw.
