Syntax
Definition and UsageTries to read LENGTH bytes from FILEHANDLE, placing the result in SCALAR. If OFFSET is specified, then data is written to SCALAR from OFFSET bytes, effectively appending the information from a specific point. If OFFSET is negative, it starts from the number of bytes specified counted backward from the end of the string. This is the equivalent of the C/operating system function read( ). Because it bypasses the buffering system employed by functions like print, read, and seek, it should only be used with the corresponding syswrite and sysseek functions. Return Value
