I've found that, too; no learning resource ever seems to cover
important, seemingly very basic operations like user or disk IO.
Most programs that I might write tend to be such that they'd
mangle data in some way, and although it's easy to learn how to
mangle data, it's always difficult to find out how to read and
write the data...

irc.openprojects.net #c is a channel where lots of C programmers
hang out and be quiet. ;)
