// This function wraps sys_readlink() and performs the same functionalty,
// but guarantees |buffer| is NULL-terminated if sys_readlink() returns
// no error. It takes the same arguments as sys_readlink(), but unlike
// sys_readlink(), it returns true on success.
//
// |buffer_size| specifies the size of |buffer| in bytes. As this function
// always NULL-terminates |buffer| on success, |buffer_size| should be
// at least one byte longer than the expected path length (e.g. PATH_MAX,
// which is typically defined as the maximum length of a path name
// including the NULL byte).
//
// The implementation of this function calls sys_readlink() instead of
// readlink(), it can thus be used in the context where calling to libc
// functions is discouraged.

// Same as the three-argument version of SafeReadLink() but deduces the
// size of |buffer| if it is a char array of known size.
