Method: IO.binread

Defined in:
io.c

.binread(path, length = nil, offset = 0) ⇒ String?

Behaves like IO.read, except that the stream is opened in binary mode with ASCII-8BIT encoding.

When called from class IO (but not subclasses of IO), this method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.

Returns:
