How to binary-read a file on VFS?

[kornerr]

i need to rewrite this in VFS:

Code:

    FILE *f;
    f = fopen (filename, "rb");
    if (f == NULL)
        return false;
    fread (&version, sizeof (TBXVersion), 1, f);

so i tried this:

Code:

    csRef<iVFS> vfs;
    vfs = csQueryRegistry<iVFS> (obj_reg);
    csRef<iFile> f = vfs->Open (filename, VFS_FILE_READ);
    f->Read (version, sizeof (TBXVersion));

but i get errors:

Code:

tbx.cpp: In member function `bool TBXFile::Open(char*)':
tbx.cpp:14: error: no matching function for call to `iFile::Read(TBXVersion&,
   unsigned int)'
/usr/local/include/crystalspace/iutil/vfs.h:134: error: candidates are: virtual
   size_t iFile::Read(char*, unsigned int)
make: *** [obj/tbx.o] Error 1

so how to read structures?

thanks.

Note that in general you should avoid to read binary structures as that is highly unportable. But if you really want to do it I recommend you take a look at the iFile API. There are methods there to read data in a buffer which you can then copy to the structure.
