+ * If pre-allocating a buffer, ensure that its size is more than 1 byte,

+ *
+ * Returns 1 (DX_GETLINE_OK) if a line was read or 0 (DX_GETLINE_EOF) if
+ * no line could be read because the end of file was reached.
+ *
+ * On failure, returns a negative value. If the C library input call failed
+ * then the return value is DX_GETLINE_ERROR and the reason for the failure
+ * should be available in errno.
+ *
+ * For the standard C fallback only, a return value of DX_GETLINE_ENOMEM
+ * indicates that the buffer allocation could not be expanded to fit the
