7

SYNOPSIS

9       Binary readBlock( File h, Int bsize )
10

ARGUMENTS

12       h A file handle to read from
13
14       bsize The maximum number of bytes to read
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Creates a block of size bsize and reads data into it.  If there is less
18       data to read than bsize , the block will contain as much data as  could
19       be read, and the Binary.blockSize (3kaya) function will return the size
20       of the data that was read. Naturally, the file handle must be valid and
21       readable.
