error in creat file by using 'open' function

hi I am just write a simple program(c.c) :

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
  int fp;
  char * pathname = "/dream/dream.txt";
  if((fp=open(pathname,O_WRONLY))==-1)
        printf("error in open file\n");
  write(fp,pathname,11);
  close(fp);
  return 0;
}

---

I can build it with gcc -o c c.c,it 's no error but when exec it ,it can't write the string in the file 'dream.txt' . when i rebuild it with 'gcc -Wall -o c c.c',It print that:

Code:

---

c.c: In function ‘main’:
c.c:14: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘write’
c.c:15: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘close’

---

can you tell me why?
Thanks !!

1. open google and write
"man write"
2. open the first link to the man page like http://www.manpagez.com/man/2/write/
3. read what include file is needed to use this function
4. include this file into your code

O_WRONLY is not sufficient to create a file. You need "O_WRONLY | O_CREAT", and you need to pass something valid in the third argument of open()

Thank you very much!!!
I did it with what you said ,and it run!!

said again :Thank you!!!

Another problem: you didn't allocate any space to pathname:

Should be:

Code:

---

  char * pathname[] = "/dream/dream.txt";
