The manual for the function read_file/1 says: Returns <span
class="code">{ok, Binary}</span>, where <span class="code">Binary</span>
is a binary data object that contains the contents of <span
class="code">Filename</span>, or <span class="code">{error,
Reason}</span> if an error occurs.<br>
<br>
What is the type of this "binary data object" (a list?). (I'll want
to access individual elements.)<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
