What library commands do i use to read from a structured binary

can't seem to find anything like readByte().
You've gotten some help already around functions D provides. But
I thought I would mention I'd recently tried to do some large
file parsing for binary data, and decided to try and blog about

I can't say this is the best solution, but it worked. I was
parsing a 20 gig OpenStreetMap planet file.
