Full Discussion: Cannot read a file with read(fd, buffer, buffersize) function

Before the close() happens, his biggest problem is his syntax:

Code:
if (fRead =open (argv[1], O_RDONLY) ==-1)

is completely wrong, and he's done it in several places.

== has higher precedence than =, so this is parsed as:

Code:
if (fRead = (open (argv[1], O_RDONLY) ==-1))

try
Code:
if ((fRead = open (argv[1], O_RDONLY)) ==-1)

and use this method throughout your code.

Also, don't use the ato* functions, but strto* instead, because they set errno.
