Usoing fopen etc is there a way to find file size

[Angus Comber]

Hello

I want to open the entire contents of a binary file (the files are quite
small) into memory. How can I find out the file size in bytes of the file I
am opening?

I don't see a 12.40. Did you mean 12.38 (the highest number
I see under section 12) ?

Do I have the current link? http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html

No, I meant 12.40 but it's my fault for not checking the online version. The
book has a 12.40, but some of the book answers aren't present in the online
version.

Ah, OK thanks, hadn't thought of that. I have the hardcopy of the
C++ FAQs but not the C one. I suppose I'll put that on my list for
next visit to the bookstore.
