+
+First let's define a shared header file for the struct definition.
+
+```c
+// struct.h
+typedef struct {
+    char name[50];
+    int health;
+    float damage;
+} Character;
+```
+
+Now lets write it to a `character.dat` file.
+
+```c
+// write.c
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <string.h>
+
+#include "struct.h"
+
+int main(void) {
+    printf("Write struct\n");
+
+    Character ch;
+
+    strcpy(ch.name, "John Doe");
+    ch.health = 30;
+    ch.damage = 5.9;
+
+    FILE* file = fopen("character.dat", "wb");
+    if (file == NULL) {
+        perror("Error opening file");
+        return 1;
+    }
+
+    fwrite(&ch, sizeof(Character), 1, file);
+    fclose(file);
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+And reading and serializing back to a struct.
+
+```c
+// read.c
+#include <stdio.h>
+
+#include "struct.h"
+
+int main(void) {
+    printf("Read struct\n");
+
+    Character ch;
+
+    FILE* file = fopen("character.dat", "rb");
+    if (file == NULL) {
+        perror("Error opening file");
+        return 1;
+    }
+
+    fread(&ch, sizeof(Character), 1, file);
+    fclose(file);
+
+    printf("Name: %s\n", ch.name);
+    printf("Health: %d\n", ch.health);
+    printf("Damage: %.1f\n", ch.damage);
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
