NAME

       pack_fread  -  Reads  n bytes from the stream. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       long pack_fread(void *p, long n, PACKFILE *f);

DESCRIPTION

       Reads `n' bytes from  the  stream  `f',  storing  them  at  the  memory
       location pointed to by `p'. Example:

          unsigned char buf[256];
          ...
          if (pack_fread(buf, 256, input_file) != 256)
             abort_on_error("Truncated input file!");

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of bytes read, which will be less than `n' if EOF is
       reached or an error occurs. Error codes are stored in errno.
