I don't see why that code wouldn't work, as objective-c is a variation of the c language and can use of all of it's standard libraries.

That said its not a very good idea, because storing the raw representation from memory will cause incompatibilty across architechtures, as well as with cocoa data types.

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)
