read() call in timer_cb

From: James Read via curl-library <curl-library_at_cool.haxx.se>

I am trying to understand the function timer_cb in
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ephiperfifo.html

This is because my web crawler uses this function and the read() call seems
to be causing problems with my web crawler.

What is the read() call for?

It has been suggested to me elsewhere that I could use select instead. Is
that right?

What would the behaviour of the program be if the read call was simply
taken out? It's return value isn't used later in the function.
