Memory Address

[majidkamali1370]

Hi.
Is HDD like RAM, in addressing ? (I mean does it have address too ?)
If yes, How can I create a pointer (or something else) that represents the address of a file in HDD ?
Thanks :-)

It doesn't work that way, you need to access the HD memory via the files like streams stdio and such

How Should I do that ?

A file system has different abstractions from memory. You probably mean a place in a file rather than on fhe media. You can identify an address in memory be a file name and offset into the file.

You can do that by opening the file and moving to that location with seek.

If you know nothing about files, you have a bit of reading to do. This should get you started.
