  60    If FD is AT_FDCWD, FILENAME is interpreted relative to the current
  61    working directory, as in openat.
  62
  63    If the link is small enough to fit into BUFFER put it there.
  64    BUFFER's size is BUFFER_SIZE, and BUFFER can be null
  65    if BUFFER_SIZE is zero.
  66
  67    If the link is not small, put it into a dynamically allocated
  68    buffer managed by ALLOC.  It is the caller's responsibility to free
  69    the returned value if it is nonnull and is not BUFFER.  A null
  70    ALLOC stands for the standard allocator.
  71
  72    The PREADLINKAT function specifies how to read links.  It operates
  73    like POSIX readlinkat()
  74    <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/readlink.html>
  75    but can assume that its first argument is the same as FD.

  77    If successful, return the buffer address; otherwise return NULL and
