getb:

Synopsis: Get a single object from a binary file.

Syntax:	getb ( "filename" )
	getb ( "filename", L )

Description:

	Getb reads one object from a RLaB binary file. Each object is
	installed on the global symbol table as it is read,
	overwriting any existing variable with the same name.

	The second form of the call to getb takes a second argument,
	L, which is the name of a list to install the read variable
	on. 

	Getb returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. Getb will not
	close a file when it encounters EOF (end of file).
