A book beginning linux programming 3ed says "Note that fread and fwrite are not recommended for use with structured data.Part of the problem is that files written with fwrite are potentially nonportable between different machines." What does that mean exactly? what calls should I use if I want to write a portable structured data reader or writer? direct system calls?
