It's the number of bytes remaining to be transferred on the descriptor
identified by the cookie. If that transfer has not been started, it
will be the total number of bytes in that transfer. If it has been
completed, it will be zero. If it is in progress, it will be the number
of bytes to be transferred before the transfer identified by that cookie
is marked as complete.
