How do you read a file and write to another file in C?

Make a variable with the type "FILE*." Using the "fopen" function, open the file and assign "file" to the variable. Check to see if the variable == NULL indicates that the file was successfully opened. To write or read from the file, use the fprintf or fscanf functions.

The write system call writes data from a buffer defined by the user in the programme into the file supplied by the calling process, in bytes as specified by the caller. The Write system call is used by most current operating systems when a programme has to write data to a file stored in a filesystem.
