--- Like 'openFile', but open the file in binary mode.
--- Thus, no translation of character is performed when reading
--- or writing a file.
--- Returns a handle to read and write the binary stream
--- (e.g., with operations 'hGetByte' and 'hPutByte').

--- Reads a byte from an input handle associated to a _binary_ stream
--- and returns it.
--- Throws an error if the end of file has been reached or the stream
--- is not binary.

--- Puts a byte to an output handle associated to a _binary_ stream.

prim_hPutByte :: Handle -> Byte -> IO ()

--- Reads the complete contents from an input handle and closes the input handle
--- before returning the contents.
