Syntax

Parameters

Results

The 'Binary.read' method returns Binary:

Remarks

Attempt to read the specified number of bytes from an open file or directory associated with this Binary object. If there is no open file an exception is thrown.

The effect of making this call is that the Binary object will contain the block that has been read - discarding any previous contents. This means that obj.length will return the number of octets actually read.

This method returns a reference to the Binary object
