How to read files placed in root-folder?

I want to know how to read files placed in root folder. For instance let's take file /init.trace.rc. When I'm trying to read it I get exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /init.trace.rc: EACCES (Permission denied)

I thought that I need to get superuser access. I did it but that made no difference ((( I still can't read it. Could anybody help me? ...and also I wonder how file explorers like "RootExplorer" read that stuff?

apparently this is all you need to run to get root access:

Process root = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
