BlockRead Reads Block(s) from Untyped File
BlockRead(var InFile: file; var Storage: <type>; NumBlocks: Integer); [TP]
Reads in some number of blocks from an untyped file into any type of
variable or data structure. You must call Assign and Reset before
making any calls to BlockRead.
InFile Untyped file; must have been previously opened using
Assign and Reset.
Storage Any variable or data structure; should be at least as
large as NumBlocks * block size.
<type> Any data type except a file type.
NumBlocks The number of blocks to be read in.
Block size is by default 128 bytes; however, it is possible to set the
block size to another value when you call Reset.
