Read binary file into struct, handle char [8], using C -

i have following code, prints out binary (prints first 4 characters (i'm guessing 2 bits per character, 8 chars in total?

void mychunks(){      struct chunkstorage     {         long sxid;         char chunk[8];      // ‘chunk of data’      };          file *p;         struct chunkstorage d;         p=fopen("myfile.txt","rb");         while(1){             fread(&d.chunk,sizeof(d.chunk),1,p);             if(feof(p)!=0)                 break;             printf(“%s”, d.chunk);             }     fclose(p); } mychunks(); 

so way me able @ data, seems using while loop in way. i'm wondering how can concatenate this, , hex encode it?

what char chunk[8] do? why have loop on each 8 bytes? why cant forget "while" loops , read full chunk after fopen statement , convert full data hex?

is right concatenate, full file, or erroneous?

i not sure of history of file, or other parts of structure defined, strict c standpoint, file large quantity of 8 byte values, nulls in them (or else printf invalid.)

so yes, following possible if code valid:

typedef struct justchunk { char chunk[8] ; } chunker ; chunker * ptr ;  ptr= (chunker * ) malloc( 1000000 * sizeof( chunker ) ) ; int iret ; f= fopen( "myfile.txt", "rb") ; iret= fread( ptr, sizeof( chunker), 1000000, f) ; 

the value returned in iret how many complete records read.

error handling, , file closing left exercise reader.
