       Binary::readBlock - Read a block from a file.

SYNOPSIS

       Binary readBlock( File h, Int bsize )

ARGUMENTS

       h A file handle to read from

       bsize The maximum number of bytes to read

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a  block  of  size bsize and reads data into it.  If there is less data to read than bsize , the
       block will contain as much data as could be read, and the Binary.blockSize (3kaya) function  will  return
       the size of the data that was read. Naturally, the file handle must be valid and readable.
