you could do this:

#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc, char **argv) {
  FILE *infp, *outfp;
  int bytes_read;
  char buffer[1024];

  if((infp = fopen(argv[1], "rt")) == NULL) {
    perror("Cannot open infile:");
    return;
  }

  if((outfp = fopen(argv[2], "wb")) == NULL) {
    perror("Cannot open outfile:");
    return;
  }

  while(1) {
    if((bytes_read = fread(buffer, 1, 1024, infp)) != 0)
      fwrite(buffer, 1, bytes_read, outfp);
    else
      break;
  }
  fclose(infp);
  fclose(outfp);
}
