1999-11-22 Thread Zhihui Zhang
Please take a look at the following piece of code that creates a large hole in a file named hole.dat. It tries to write 0x30-0x39 both at the front and the tail of that file, the hole is therefore in the middle. main() { char c; FILE * fp; fp = fopen("hole.dat", "w");
