I'm using fwrite to write structure to file, I also use fread to retreive
it. But i dont know how to delete it.
For example i write few objects into file, and than i want to delete 5th
object from file.
I set pointer to that position as:
fseek(stream, sizeof (myStruct) * objectnum, 0);
after that i want to delete sizeof (myStruct) number of bytes from file. How
?
