A quick google suggests this is from libiio. Perhaps Paul or Lars
can give more detail.

The data is in binary, whereas piping it to stdout is presumably going to expect
asci characters. I would imagine, glancing at that example code
that it was meant for piping into some other program that actually interpreted
the stream?
Alternatively, take a look at tools/iio/generic_buffer.c in the kernel source
tree for an example of how to read from the buffers.
