To write out a structure we can use fwrite() as Fwrite( &e, sizeof(e),1,fp);Where e is a structurevariable. A corresponding fread() invocation can read the structure back from file. calling fwrite() it writes out sizeof(e) bytes from the address &e. Data files written as memory images with fwrite(),however ,will not be portable, particularly if they contain floating point fields or Pointers. This is because memory layout of structures is machine and compilerdependent. Therefore, structures written as memory images cannot necessarily be read back by programs running on other machine, and this is the important concern if the data files you’re writing will ever be interchanged between machines.
