You want writeChar rather than writeBin to avoid the null termination of
strings.

‘seek’ returns the current position (before any move), as a
(numeric) byte offset from the origin, if relevant, or ‘0’ if not.
Your string is nul terminated (9 bytes long). That would be the
current offset. If you only read one byte, you'd have to be more than
0 bytes offset.
