/* Here's an overview of how Emacs input works on MS-Windows.
System messages are read and processed by w32_msg_pump below. This
function runs in a separate thread. It handles a small number of
custom WM_EMACS_* messages (posted by the main thread, look for
PostMessage calls), and dispatches the rest to w32_wnd_proc, which
is the main window procedure for the entire Emacs application.
w32_wnd_proc also runs in the same separate input thread. It
handles some messages, mostly those that need GDI calls, by itself.
For the others, it calls my_post_msg, which inserts the messages
into the input queue serviced by w32_read_socket.
w32_read_socket runs in the main (a.k.a. "Lisp") thread, and is
called synchronously from keyboard.c when it is known or suspected
that some input is available. w32_read_socket either handles
messages immediately, or converts them messages into Emacs input
events and stuffs them into kbd_buffer, where kbd_buffer_get_event
can get at them and process them when read_char and its callers
require input. */

This routine is called by the SIGIO handler.
We return as soon as there are no more events to be read.
For an overview of how Emacs input works on MS-Windows, see the
commentary before w32_msg_pump in w32fns.c.
We return the number of characters stored into the buffer,
thus pretending to be `read'.
