Answer / amvel
U can use FILE pointer, to find the address of a file in ur
hard disk.
What u hav to do is, Just pass the directory of the file to
lib function fopen(), to which u wanted to know the
address, and assign the return value of the function to a
FILE pointer. Now the file pointer holds the address of the
file.
Lets, look at the below code for better clarity.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
FILE *fp ;
char ch ;
fp = fopen("C:\\Documents and
Settings\\Vadivelt\\file.txt", "w+");
/*Gives the starting adds of ur file in the hard disk*/
printf("%d \n", fp);
_getch();
}

Answer / venu
FILE *fp ; is a virtual address in library.
You need meta data to find the location on hard disk.
