* @p func will be called during the execution of @ref ecore_main_loop_begin
* when the file descriptor is available for reading, or writing, or both.
*
* Normally the return value from the @p func is "zero means this handler is
* finished and can be deleted" as is usual for handler callbacks. However,
* if the @p buf_func is supplied, then the return value from the @p func is
* "non zero means the handler should be called again in a tight loop".
* Normally when @p func returns ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL, it indicates that the
* handler should be marked for deletion (identical to calling @ref ecore_main_fd_handler_del).
* However, if the @p buf_func is supplied, then the return value from the @p func indicates that
* @p func should be called repeatedly until it returns ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL.
*
* @p buf_func is called during event loop handling to check if data that has
* been read from the file descriptor is in a buffer and is available to
* read. Some systems (notably xlib) handle their own buffering, and would
* otherwise not work with select(). These systems should use a @p buf_func.
* This is a most annoying hack, only ecore_x uses it, so refer to that for
* an example. NOTE - @p func should probably return "one" always if
* an example. NOTE - @p func should probably return ECORE_CALLBACK_RENEW always if
* @p buf_func is used, to avoid confusion with the other return value
* semantics.
