You can memcpy them - integers are stored in binary format, not as textual digits.
To read it back out, you have to know the exact format of what was written to start with.

IF you don't like that use sprintf() then memcpy();

bcopy - copy byte sequence SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The bcopy() function copies n bytes from src to dest. The result is correct, even when both areas overlap. RETURN VALUE
None. CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD. This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs. Note that the first two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3). POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of bcopy(). SEE ALSO
