C Program to find the size of a given file.

Write a C Program to find the size of a given file.
The function fseek() is used to set the file pointer at the specified position. In general, it is used to move the file pointer to the desired position within the file.
In this program we moved the file pointer to the end of file, and obtain the current position of the file pointer. Function rewind() also moves the file pointer to the beginning of the file, but syntax and number of parameters are different. Read more about C Programming Language .
