For every value you read from the file, ask yourself what would
happen if some malicious person went in and changed those bytes in
the file to some nonsensical value--because there are people out
there who will do that. I would advise at the very least a
thorough understanding of C pointers and pointer arithmetic.
I guess this is the point where I shamelessly plug my C tutorial
again:

It takes care to introduce people to pointers and most of the other C
stuff that you'll have to understand to do anything but the most
simple Cocoa program, and is perfectly suitable for cases like this.
