(C) 1996 AROS - The Amiga Replacement OS


NAME
#include <proto/dos.h>
LONG Read()
SYNOPSIS
BPTR file
APTR buffer
LONG length

LOCATION
In DOSBase at offset 7
FUNCTION
Read some data from a given file. The request is directly given to the filesystem - no buffering is involved. For small amounts of data it's probably better to use the buffered I/O routines.

INPUTS
file
filehandle
buffer
pointer to buffer for the data
length
number of bytes to read. The filesystem is advised to try to fulfill the request as good as possible.
RESULT
The number of bytes actually read, 0 if the end of the file was reached, -1 if an error happened. IoErr() will give additional information in that case.
