I don't get it...  


         c = read(fd,buffer,count);   
         /* read stuff from file */

         c = READ(fd,buffer,count);  
         /* be SURE to read stuff from file. Don't write or lseek, READ. */

         c = read(FD,buffer,count);
         /* read from file FD. Not some other file descriptor, FD. */

         c = read(fd,BUFFER,count);
         /* read stuff into BUFFER, and not somewhere else. */

I still don't get it.
