Reading file of binary integers in C using open() and read()

Vote count:

I am trying to read a binary file containing integers in the binary form. I need to use the open() and read() functions rather than fopen() and the like.

I open my file and try to read it, but i get binary symbols in my output.

char buffer[sizeof(int)];
int file1;
int bytesRead;
file1 = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
    if(file1 == -1)
    {
        printf("unable to open file\n");
        exit(1);
    }
    while((bytesRead = read(file1, &buffer, sizeof(buffer))))
    {
        printf("%d\n", buffer);
    }

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
