True, but every once in a while, there might be a way to do the first
one (from the program API point of view).
Basically the I/O driver is out to lunch, and 99.99% of the time, there
won't be any user-process way to poke it in the ribs. There are quite a
few times I've had good luck with power-cycling the device it's talking
to. Sometimes the driver notices that and wakes up, finishing the
system call and letting the program continue (or die). Not all the time
though.
