Reading bynary file using struct

[marco cammarata]

Hi,

I have to read images recorded with a CCD.
I have the description of the header (as struct, see attached file)
and I'm able to read the images correctly in c or c++:

For example in C:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "marheader.h"
int main ( int argc , char** argv ) {
  FILE *f;
  f=fopen("test.mccd","rb");
  fseek(f, 1024, SEEK_SET); // skip the standard TIFF header
  frame_header header;
  fread(&header,sizeof(header),1,f);
  fclose(f);
  return 0;
}

Any idea if something similar can be done in octave ? How ?

Many thanks in advance,
marco
