Thanks for all the comments.

I fixed this and the one other GNU/Linux that's crept in.

Is this better?

The @dfn{Host I/O} packets allow @value{GDBN} to perform I/O
operations on the far side of a remote link.  For example, Host I/O is
used to upload and download files to a remote target with its own
filesystem.  Host I/O uses the same constant values and data structure
layout as the target-initiated File-I/O protocol.  However, the
Host I/O packets are structured differently.  The target-initiated
protocol relies on target memory to store parameters and buffers.
Host I/O requests are initiated by @value{GDBN}, and the
target's memory is not involved.  @xref{File-I/O Remote Protocol
Extension}, for more details on the target-initiated protocol.

As a trailing semicolon.  Clarified now.

Here's my latest patch, which should correct all the problems you
found.  I also fixed cleanup when a write error occurs.

+@table @samp

+@item vFile:@var{operation}: @var{parameter}@dots{}
+@var{operation} is the name of the particular request; the target

+the operation.  Numbers are always passed in hexadecimal.  Negative

+@item vFile:pread: @var{fd}, @var{count}, @var{offset}
+Read data from the open file corresponding to @var{fd}.  Up to
+@var{count} bytes will be read from the file, starting at @var{offset}
+relative to the start of the file.  The target may read fewer bytes;
+common reasons include packet size limits and an end-of-file

+returned for a successful read at the end of the file, or if
+@var{count} was zero.
+
+The data read should be returned as a binary attachment on success.
+If zero bytes were read, the response should include an empty binary
