The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

You realize that if you use fread(), all the buffering is handled invisibly for you? You just read however many bytes you want at any one time.
Yes. However, I need to deal with variable length records and
multi-byte record delimiters. Unless I can reliably read the entire
file in to memory (which is probably not the best idea for very large
files), I need to handle the possibility that a record delimiter could
span a break in the 'chunks' I'm reading.
Since I want to create a reusable procedure, I'd rather not make
assumptions about the maximum record size, even though that could
probably improve performance somewhat and simplify the code.
