STRING|BUFFER fread([INTEGER block])
Read from the existing file bound to this object. If the file is a binary file, a buffer is returned. If the file is a text file (default), a string is returned.
If the file is at the end, the ~eof error is thrown.
With binary files an optional block size may be specified. The default block size is 512 characters.
Example:
while ((line = (| fread() |)) != ~eof)
log(line);
