 #include "io/read_file.h"
 
+/// Call `callback` for every argument provided by `args`.
+/// The arguments are interpreted as filenames, "-" is interpreted as stdin.
+/// For every argument the given filename is read into a `struct filebuf*`,
+/// which the callee should free (using `free_filebuf`).
+///
+/// If the list of arguments is empty, `callback` is called once with stdin read
+/// into a `filebuf*` and `fname = NULL`.
+///
+/// `callback` is expected to return the exit code for the program.
+/// If the exit code is positive, the program will exit immediately with the
+/// provided exit code.
+/// If the exit code is negative enumeration is continued, but after enumeration
+/// the function will return the exit code negated (i.e. the function will
+/// never return a negative integer).
