@findex ringbuf_read
Read and print up to @var{size} bytes from ring buffer character
device @var{device}.
+Certain non-printable characters are printed \uXXXX, where XXXX is the
+character code in hexadecimal. Character \ is printed \\.
Bug: can screw up when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8 sequences,
NUL characters, after the ring buffer lost data, and when reading
stops because the size limit is reached.
