Are you talking about this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/14h5k7ff%28v=vs.100%29.aspx ? What does errno give you after the call (try to look up the error instead of giving us a number, please)?

Solution 1

Check the documentation[^]; a return value of -1 means that the file could not be found, or some general error occurred.
