Yes, I want to read the whole stdin in a single operation, so the -d was
there to disable stopping at newline
It seem that instead made read stop at null bytes
I worked around this limitation with:
xx=$(echo -e - a$'\000'b; echo .); xx=${xx[1,-2]}; echo -n - $xx
ab
but I will try also your suggestion, thanks
