I've been trying to learn Go / Golang on my own, but I've been stumped on trying read and write to ordinary files.

I can get as far as: inFile,_ := os.Open(INFILE,0,0);

but actually getting the content of the file doesn't make sense, since the read function takes a []byte as a parameter??

func (file *File) Read(b []byte) (n int, err Error)
