Hi

Say I want to copy the contents of a file into memory, how do I do the 
actual copy. Eg

    boost::filesystem::path p = "file.txt"

    const unsigned int filesize = boost::filesystem::file_size( p );

    unsigned char* buffer = new unsigned char[filesize];

    // how do I copy file contents into buffer?

Many thanks

Simon
