Using fread if the buffer size is not known

Hi...

I am trying to read a binary data that have different types of messages of different lengths. I am using fread() but this functions needs the size and count to read the buffer from the file. I think this may cause that the buffer overlaps other messages.

Is there an alternative to read from a binary file without specifying the length?
