File Handling : An Overview

File handling is a fundamental concept in C programming that allows us to work with files on a computer. Whether itโ€™s reading data from a file, writing data to a file, or manipulating the contents of a file, file handling enables us to store and retrieve data efficiently.

The following operations can be performed on a file:-

  • Creating a new file
  • Opening an existing file
  • Reading data from an existing file
  • Writing data to a file
  • Moving data to a specific location on the file
  • Closing the file
