Fs.PHYSFS_openRead Method 

Open a file for reading.

[Visual Basic]
Public Shared Function PHYSFS_openRead( _
   ByVal filename As String _
) As IntPtr
[C#]
public static IntPtr PHYSFS_openRead(
   string filename
);

Parameters

filename
File to open.

Return Value

A valid PhysicsFS filehandle on success, NULL on error. Specifics of the error can be gleaned from PHYSFS_getLastError.

Remarks

Open a file for reading, in platform-independent notation. The search path is checked one at a time until a matching file is found, in which case an abstract filehandle is associated with it, and reading may be done. The reading offset is set to the first byte of the file.

Note that entries that are symlinks are ignored if PHYSFS_permitSymbolicLinks(1) hasn't been called, and opening a symlink with this function will fail in such a case.
