Darwin's read/write syscalls emit EINVAL only when nbyte > INT_MAX. The case nbyte == INT_MAX is valid, so the subtraction (- 1) in

const READ_LIMIT: usize = if cfg!(target_vendor = "apple") {
    libc::c_int::MAX as usize - 1 // <- HERE
} else {
    libc::ssize_t::MAX as usize
};

can be removed.

I tested that the case nbyte == INT_MAX is valid on various versions of macOS, including old one like Mac OS X 10.5.

The man page says:

Here are links to Darwin's code:

Darwin's `read`/`write` syscalls emit `EINVAL` only when `nbyte > INT_MAX`.
The case `nbyte == INT_MAX` is valid, so the subtraction can be removed.
