Subject: Binary file reading in Ruby

Hi All,

I am trying to read in a binary file of size 'n' using:

mem_buf = IO.read(file_name, n, 0)

Where file_name is an argument to the script.

But after the read I observed that the size of the mem_buf is less
than 'n' (It should be equal to 'n').

(mem_buf.size != n).

This script fails on the above read check.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here. Any help will be
appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Rohit
