No, that's not right.
fread and fwrite work on both binary and text data.
fgets is for reading one line of text from a stream.
fgetc is for reading one character from a stream.
ftell and fseek are for getting and setting the position within a stream.
The f*pos() functions handle streams which are too large for ftell/fseek,
and they also have special code to handle multibyte stream content.
Where do you come up with this stuff, Bill? Do you not have access to
documentation?
