"ready for reading if it is readable" is circular, and "usually includes" is
vague.
I suggest phrasing it the way that the man page does. That is:
"A file descriptor is considered ready for reading if a read will not block.
This does not necessarily mean that there is data waiting to be read; the read
may indicate end of file or a pending error."
