fread() function and unsigned integers, words and dwords

["Lionel Pinkhard" <lionelpi@mweb.co.za>]

Hi,

Can somebody please explain to me how the fread() function works? I looked
at the stdio.h file, but I can't make out exactly which parameters to pass
to it. Is it similar to fgetc() and fgets()? Would it work to input
unsigned integers, words and dwords from files? Also, I know how to declare
a variable as an unsigned integer, but what would I have to do to make it a
word or dword? Would I have to use a char/int/long/float/double? Or what?
I'm trying to read a header file, any ideas? I'm using a struct for the
header.

Kind regards,

Lionel Pinkhard
