    Description

    ReadBinaryStream reads the key Name in section Section, and returns the value in the stream Value. If the specified key or section do not exist, then the contents of Value are left untouched. The stream is not cleared prior to adding data to it.

    The data is interpreted as a series of 2-byte hexadecimal values, each representing a byte in the data stream, i.e, it should always be an even number of hexadecimal characters.
