Best way to do simple binary file I/O?

In C, I would just define a struct

typedef struct _mytype {
  /* field definitions */
  } MyType, *MyTypePtr;

then, in code somewhere...

...
FILE *fp;
int i;

...
fp = fopen(<filename>, "rb");
i = fread(fp, sizeof(MyType), 1);
while (<some condition based on what was read in>)
  {
  /* Process one record... */
  ...

  /* Read another */
  i = fread(fp, sizeof(MyType), 1);
  }
fclose(fp);
...

What's the ObjC (OO) recommended methodology for this now? (for just a Core Foundation tool)
