CTYPEREAD CTYPEREAD Read a C Structure From File

Usage

The ctyperead function is a convenience function for
reading a C structure from a file.  This is generally a
very bad idea, as direct writing of C structures to files
is notoriously unportable.  Consider yourself warned.  The
syntax for this function is

   a = ctyperead(fid,'typename')

where 'typename' is a string containing the name of the
C structure as defined using ctypedefine, and fid
is the file handle returned by the fopen command.  Note
that this form will read a single structure from the file.
If you want to read multiple structures into an array, 
use the following form

   a = ctyperead(fid,'typename',count)

Note that the way this function works is by using ctypesize
to compute the size of the structure, reading that many bytes
from the file, and then calling ctypethaw on the resulting
buffer.  A consequence of this behavior is that the byte-endian
corrective behavior of FreeMat does not work.
