Part of pipe and tty read / write semantics is that they can be interrupted. An excerpt from Linux's signal(7) follows:
If a blocked call to one of the following interfaces is interrupted by a signal handler, then the call is automatically restarted after the signal handler returns if the SA_RESTART flag was used; otherwise the call fails with the error EINTR:
read(2), readv(2), write(2), writev(2), and ioctl(2) calls on "slow" devices. A "slow" device is one where the I/O call may block for an indefinite time, for example, a terminal, pipe, or socket. If an I/O call on a slow device has already transferred some data by the time it is interrupted by a signal handler, then the call will return a success status (normally, the number of bytes transferred). Note that a (local) disk is not a slow device according to this definition; I/O operations on disk devices are not interrupted by signals.
open(2), if it can block (e.g., when opening a FIFO; see fifo(7)).
wait(2), wait3(2), wait4(2), waitid(2), and waitpid(2).
