  29 /*  FUNCTION
  30         Read some data from a given file. The request is directly
  31         given to the filesystem - no buffering is involved. For
  32         small amounts of data it's probably better to use the
  33         buffered I/O routines.
  34
  35     INPUTS
  36         file   - filehandle
  37         buffer - pointer to buffer for the data
  38         length - number of bytes to read. The filesystem is
  39                  advised to try to fulfill the request as good
  40                  as possible.
  41
  42     RESULT
  43         The number of bytes actually read, 0 if the end of the
  44         file was reached, -1 if an error happened. IoErr() will
  45         give additional information in that case.
