Subject: [ruby-talk:23034] Howto read binary data?

Hi!
I want to read a file containing double values in binary representation,
i.e. they have been written from C using

double variable;
write(fd, &variable, sizeof(variable));

How can i read this file from ruby and stuff the data into a ruby double
variable? (The file has been built on the same machine, so endianess should
not be a problem).

Thanks in advance
Martin.

PS: I would be interested in the method of writing the file, too.
