  11. Hi all,
  12.  
  13. o read()/write() expect you to read/write a "char *buf"
  14. o I have a variable "foo" which is of type "struct foo_type"
  15. o I've been reading/writing "(char *)&foo"
  16.  
  17. It seems to be working.  Am I just lucky, or is this correct?
  18. I've never tried reading into a structure like this before...
