Data File Handling through C


File operation

There are two distinct ways to perform the file operation in C:
 
1. Low level I/O operation (it uses UNIX system call therefore we won't discuss here)
 
2. High level I/O operation (it uses function in C's Standard I/O library)
 
List of I/O function with their operation:
 
  fopen()  creates a new file for use or opens an existing file for use.
  fclose()  close a file which has been opened for use.
  getc()  reads a character to a file.
  putc()  writes a character to a line.
  fprintf()  writes a set of data values to a file.
  fscanf()  reads a set of data values from a file.
  getw()  reads an integer from a file.
  putw()  writes an integer to a file.
  feof()  test for an end of file condition.
