<para>
Reads to EOF on the given file pointer from the current position and
writes the results to the output buffer.
</para>
<para>
You may need to call <function>rewind</function> to reset the file
pointer to the beginning of the file if you have already written data
to the file.
</para>
<para>
If you just want to dump the contents of a file to the output buffer,
without first modifying it or seeking to a particular offset, you may
want to use the <function>readfile</function>, which saves you
the <function>fopen</function> call.

<note>
<para>
When using <function>fpassthru</function> on a binary file on Windows
systems, you should make sure to open the file in binary mode by
appending a <literal>b</literal> to the mode used in the call to
<function>fopen</function>.
</para>
<para>
You are encouraged to use the <literal>b</literal> flag when dealing
with binary files, even if your system does not require it, so that
your scripts will be more portable.
