Description	equivalent to the FlashBASIC statements depending upon type: read, readu, readu locked type FlashBASIC statement _CP_READ read result from expression,string _CP_READU readu result from expression,string _CP_READUL readu result from expression,string locked value = 1 else value = 0 If value is not needed, the user may pass (int*) 0. The _CP_read call uses the same optimized read routine as FlashBASIC which, from release 6.1 and above, is about 2-5 times faster than that which is used by Access and standard Pick/BASIC. The expression should be an integer file descriptor returned by the _CP_open call. This function returns -1 if an error occurs. The error code is contained in _CP_errno.
