Are you sure?  I took a look at read_string and its comments and it
seemed to do what I described - but I might be wrong.

+   If LEN is -1, stops at the first null character (not necessarily the first
+   null byte) up to a maximum of FETCHLIMIT characters, otherwise reading
+   proceeds (including null characters) until LEN characters have been read.
+   Set FETCHLIMIT to UINT_MAX to read as many characters as possible from the
+   string.
