silc_file_readfile

SYNOPSIS

    char *silc_file_readfile(const char *filename, SilcUInt32 *return_len,
                             SilcStack stack);

DESCRIPTION

Reads the content of `filename' to a buffer. The allocated buffer is returned. This does not NULL terminate the buffer but EOF terminate it. The caller must replace the EOF with NULL if the buffer must be NULL terminated.

If the `return_len' pointer is not NULL, it's filled with the length of the file. The returned length does not include the terminator.

If `stack' is non-NULL the returned buffer is allocated from `stack'. The allocation consumes `stack' so caller should push the stack before calling this function and pop it later.
