Just because it's good to see alternatives, here is the same program but
with almost every part changed ever so slightly.  This is not better, it
just shows you some options.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  
  int main(void)
  {
      FILE *fp = fopen("ijk.txt", "w");
      if (fp) {
          for(int i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
              for (int j = 0; j <= 3; j++)
          	for (int k = 0; k <= 3; k++)
          	    fprintf(fp, "%d %d %d\n", i, j, k);
          return fclose(fp) == 0 ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
      }
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }

The points you can accept or reject as you like are

 1. Declaring function parameters as f(void) rather than f() tells the
    compiler more and lets it spot more errors.
 2. Output looks like plain text so you only need \n to get the right
    ending on all systems.
 3. Prefer initialisation over immediate assignment.
 4. Consistency (you had "fopen (" but "fclose(").
 5. Alternate brace placement.
 6. Minimum braces.
 7. Declaring loop variables inside the for statement (modern C only).
 8. return x; rather than return(x).
 9. Don't waste an opportunity to tell the system if things worked.
10. Always test function calls that can fail.
