Thanks to Ron for pointing this out. The implication is that the stdio etc. routines would have to call _read() but the UNIX user still gets his read() routine from the library. Thus an implementation CAN have non-standard non-_* names in the library after all, so long as they are essentially an orthogonal extension to the standard-conforming part of the library.
