Syntax
- (read-int [stream [length]])
- stream - the input stream [default is standard input]
length - the length of the integer in bytes [default is 4]
returns - the integer
Description
The 'read-int' function reads an integer from a binary input
stream, created by the
open-binary function.
Note: Integers and floats are assumed to be
big-endian [high-order byte first] and signed,
regardless of the platform. To read little-endian
format, use a negative number for the length, e.g. '-4' indicates a
4-bytes, low-order byte first. The file should be
opened in binary mode.
