char n[20];
short a = *((short *)&n[0]);
short b = *((short *)&n[2]);
short c = *((short *)&n[4]);
This sets a b and c to have essentially random values.
nbytes = read( fd, n, 40);
This causes the value of n to change. However, the values of a, b, and
c retain the same random values you assigned them above.
printf( "\r a = %d \n ", a);
printf("\r b = %d \n",b);
printf("\r c = %d \n",c);
This prints the random values of a, b, and c rather than printing thee
values of n that you read in.
