Examples:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( void )
{
    FILE *fp_in, *fp_out;
    char buffer[80];

    fp_in = fopen( "file", "r" );
    fp_out = fopen( "outfile", "w" );
    if( fp_in != NULL && fp_out != NULL) {
        while( fgets( buffer, 80, fp_in ) != NULL ) {
            fputs( buffer, fp_out );
        }
        fclose( fp_in );
        fclose( fp_out );
        
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
