How can I serialize a struct into a file in the style of C?

Due to it's convenience, I was thinking on reading and writing 
file headers by creating structs mirroring the layouts of actual 
headers I would need. I've seen many examples of this in C, 
however I' struggling using the same methods through the use of 
code.stdc.stdio, especially as I can't really trace bugs from 
fread.
