You are in a much better position than most people who are interested
in file sizes. This problem can be solved without system specific
extentions.
Have a look at the semantics of the return value of fprintf(). The
solution should be obvious. You add up the number of bytes transferred
to the file, and you get a good rough estimate of the file size, or
even an exact value, if your system does not need any funny tricks
to store text files.
