I have a routine which reads a stream file byte by byte looking for record start and end delimiters. I have implemented my own buffering. Now I'm looking at trying to separate the buffered reading from the actual parsing so that I can handle records without start delimiters, as well as delimiters of arbitrary length.

It should be relatively easy to modify my current buffering code to work with different delimiters, but I wonder if I'd be better off just using the _C_IFS_(fopen,fclose,fread) functions.

What would you choose and why?
