Write pointer to file in C

Question

I have a structure:

typedef struct student {
  char *name;
  char *surname;
  int age;
} Student;

I need to write the structure into a bina

Answer 1

You need to dereference s and individually write out each element of the structure to actually write thecontents to the file:

size_t nameCount = strlen(s->name) + 1;
fwrite(s->name, sizeof(char), nameCount, fp);

size_t surnameCount = strlen(s->surname) + 1;
fwrite(s->surname, sizeof(char), surnameCount, fp);
