/* Derived from GNU libc's getline.
   The behavior is almost the same as getline. See man getline.
   The differences are
   	(1) using file descriptor instead of FILE *,
	(2) the order of arguments; the file descriptor comes the first, and
	(3) the addition of third argument, UNBUFFERED_READ; this argument
	    controls whether get_line uses buffering or not to get a byte data
	    from FD. get_line uses zreadc if UNBUFFERED_READ is zero; and
	    uses zread if UNBUFFERED_READ is non-zero.

   Returns number of bytes read or -1 on error. */
