| Sep 27, 2021 at 10:10 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | @A.Danischewski, read reads words from a logical line one byte at a time though in the special case where the input is seekable, with some implementations, can read a block of bytes at a time and seek back to after the first unescaped newline character as an optimisation. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 2:34 | comment | added | cuonglm | @A.Danischewski: It depends on your shell. In bash, it reads one buffer size at a time, try dash for example. See also unix.stackexchange.com/q/209123/38906 | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 1:30 | comment | added | Adam D. | The read shell built-in doesn't read a single character at a time, it reads a single line at a time. wiki.bash-hackers.org/commands/builtin/read | |
