Thread: Trouble trying to read from a bin. file into an array dynamically

So I am having trouble reading from a bin file (inside a directory), and storying the contents into an array of structs dynamically. I am getting an error saying "each struct field must be read individually", this is part of the requirements.

Is there an obvious reason I would be having trouble reading the fields. Should I be trying to read them straight into struct stage3 user or create a new array in memory?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


struct stage3
{
        int bell;
        double cream;
        short int apple;
        int brush;
        unsigned long finger;
        char boy [10];
        short int sight;
        long int ocean;
        unsigned short shovel;
        char water;
};


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
        int i;
        size_t size;
        struct stage3 *user;
        FILE *fptr;


        if (argc < 2) { 
                fprintf(stderr, "Usage");
                exit(1);
}
        if ((fptr = fopen(argv[1], "rb+")) == NULL) {
                fprintf(stderr, "could not open file: %s\n", argv[1]);
                exit(1);
}
                fseek(fptr, 0, SEEK_END);
                size = (ftell(fptr));
                fseek(fptr, 0, SEEK_SET); 


                user = malloc(size); 

        if (user == NULL) {
                fprintf(stderr, "memeory exhausted\n");
                exit(1);
}
                i = 0;
        while(1) {
                fread(&user, sizeof(user), 1, fptr);
                if (feof(fptr)) {
                break;
}
                fclose(fptr);
                free(user);
        return 0;
}
