Writing to Files

fwrite() is used to write the contents of a string to a file that has been opened for writing. It has an alias: fputs().
In order to write to a file with fwrite(), an access mode specifier allowing writing must be provided to fopen() when opening the file to be written to.
Two commonly used write access mode specifiers are:
- 'a' (append) - open for writing only; place file pointer at the end of the file; attempt to create file if it does not exist
- ‘w’ (overwrite) – open for writing only; delete file contents; place file pointer at beginning of file; attempt to create file if it does not exist
Additional Resources:
- Function Reference - fwrite()
- Function Reference - fopen() Access Mode Specifiers
