#include <stdio.h>size_t fread(void ptr, size_t size, size_t nitems, FILE stream);
size_t fwrite(const void ptr, size_t size, size_t nitems, FILE stream);
fwrite writes to the named output stream at most nitems items of data from the array pointed to by ptr, where an item of data is a sequence of bytes (not necessarily terminated by a null byte) of length size. fwrite stops writing when it has written nitems items of data or if an error condition is encountered on stream. fwrite does not change the contents of the array pointed to by ptr. fwrite increments the data-pointer in stream by the number of bytes written. fwrite returns the number of items written.
The ferror or feof routines must be used to distinguish between an error condition and end-of-file condition.
fread fails if the file is a regular file and an attempt was made to read at or beyond the offset maximum associated with the corresponding stream.
fwrite fails when either the named stream is unbuffered or its buffer needed to be flushed and an attempt was made to write at or beyond the offset maximum.
