Question

I know the function below:

size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size_of_elements, size_t number_of_elements, FILE *a_file);

Adding to the first comment, you can try reading one byte at a time (declare a char variable and write there), and then use the bitwise operators >> and << to read bit by bit. Read more here: http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/bitwise_operators.html
