openBinaryFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO Handle
Like openFile
, but open the file in binary mode.
On Windows, reading a file in text mode (which is the default)
will translate CRLF to LF, and writing will translate LF to CRLF.
This is usually what you want with text files. With binary files
this is undesirable; also, as usual under Microsoft operating systems,
text mode treats control-Z as EOF. Binary mode turns off all special
treatment of end-of-line and end-of-file characters.
