============= ===============================================================
+Behavior
+========
+
+This section aims at describing 9p 'quirks' that can be different
+from a local filesystem behaviors.
+

+ as the server returns some data instead of trying to fill the read
+ buffer with the requested amount of bytes or end of file is reached.
