According to Bruno Haible on 2/29/2008 3:49 AM:

It seems like freadahead should add together the length of the ungetc
buffer and the read buffer, if we can easily get to both those pieces of
information - the contract of freadahead is that it tries to report how
many bytes can be read from the stream without requiring another
underlying read().
