How to read 'long long' from binary file?

Hello community,

I've got a binary file which was written with C++. How can I read a number in 'long long' format (8 bytes)? In the Matlab help I found only this info:

reading binary file with function _ fread(fileID, sizeA, precision)_ where precision could be only 'long' (in my case), but this is only 4 bytes.

Thanks in advance!

For precision use '*int64'. If the file was written on a different machine you may need to deal with endian stuff as well.
