Copies to the buffer exactly length bytes from a file into buffer.
Syntax
unsigned int _FRead(FCHAN chan, char FAR *buffer, int length)
FCHAN chan; /* File channel of file from which to copy. */
char FAR *buffer; /* Buffer address. */
int length; /* Number of bytes to be copied. */
Remarks
_FRead( ) doesn't add a terminator to the end of the bytes in the buffer. No translation is performed on the bytes when they are stored in the buffer. _FRead( ) returns the number of bytes read.
