@Ygor, don't forget it's a binary file so there could be EOF CR or NULL characters dotted through the blocks of data. This will cause trouble for awk if the file is processed as-is.

GETS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETS(3)
NAME
fgetc, fgets, getc, getchar, gets, ungetc - input of characters and strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fgetc(FILE *stream);
char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);
int getc(FILE *stream);
int getchar(void);
char *gets(char *s);
int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
fgetc() reads the next character from stream and returns it as an unsigned char cast to an int, or EOF on end of file or error.
getc() is equivalent to fgetc() except that it may be implemented as a macro which evaluates stream more than once.
getchar() is equivalent to getc(stdin).
gets() reads a line from stdin into the buffer pointed to by s until either a terminating newline or EOF, which it replaces with '
