C program to Copy the Contents of One file into another using fputc.
⦁ The C library function int fputc(int char, FILE *stream) writes a character specified by the argument char to the specified stream and advances the position indicator for the stream.
⦁ Following is the declaration for fputc( ) function.
int fputc(int char, FILE *stream)
⦁ char - This is the character to be written. This is passed as its int promotion.
⦁ stream - This is the pointer to a FILE object that identifies the stream where the character is to be written.
⦁ If there are no errors, the same character that has been written is returned. If an error occurs, EOF is returned and the error indicator is set.

if (fp2 == NULL)
{
puts(" Not able to open this file");
fclose(fp1);

Explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⦁ We have two files, opening one file in read mode and another one on write mode.
fp1 = fopen("test.txt","r"); and
fp2 = fopen("test.txt","w");
⦁ Check whether file is opened successfully or not using NULL check.
if(fp2 == NULL)
{
// File is Not Opened Successfully
}
⦁ If everything is ok then reading file character by character and writing on file character by character.
a = fgetc(fp1);
⦁ If we get EOF character then process of writing on the file will be terminated.
do
{
a = fgetc(fp1);
fputc(a,fp2);
} while(a! = EOF);

Output
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Content will be written Successfully to file.
