read_bytes - reads a contiguous series of bytes from a file into a string
|
|
|
|
string read_bytes( string path, int start, int length );
|
|
|
|
This function reads 'length' bytes beginning at byte # 'start' in the
|
|
file named 'path'. The bytes are returned as a string. Note that
|
|
(start + length) must not be past the end of the file or else read_bytes
|
|
will fail. If the second and third arguments are omitted, the entire file
|
|
is returned.
