There are many, many ways of doing this, but here is my preferred method:

int main(void)
{
	FILE *infile = fopen("test", "rb");
	char *input = (char *)NULL;

	if(!(input = (char *)malloc(1024))) abort();

	while(fgets(input, 1023, infile) != EOF) {
		fprintf(stdprn, "%s", input);
	}
	
	return(0);
}
