Then either don't import both or use the full import.

auto file = std.stdio.File("filename");

But I wouldn't advise using std.stream for anything unless you have to. As the note in its documentation states, it's considered out-of-date and will be replaced.

It's missing new. My mistake.

auto buffer = new ubyte[](4);

or as David pointed out, you get just allocate the array in the rawRead call:

auto buf = file.rawRead(new ubyte[](4));

It worked! Thanks.
Just one more question, I and to do the reverse. Like 4132 => "\x24\x10"

Use std.bitmanip.write:

Could we somehow skip making the temporary buffer, and read from the file directly into an existing variable. Can we make a slice of one element that points to an existing value.

import std.stdio;

struct BigValue // has no indirection
{
    int  m_value1;
    int  m_value2;
    long m_value3;
    // ...
}

BigValue g_bigValue;

void fun()
{
    auto file = File("filename");

    // How to create a slice of size 1 which references g_bigValue?
    BigValue[] refToBigValue /* = ? */ ;

    buffer = file.rawRead(refToBigValue);
}

auto refToBigValue = (&g_bigValue)[0..1];

Thanks. Oughta read the f***ing manual instead of glancing through it:
