File I/O is the same in C for Mac OS X as for other operating systems. (Perhaps I'm not understanding your question?) For example, this code should make a new file called "readme" that contains the text "hello world!"; it should work on a variety of platforms, including a Mac:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  FILE *fp;

  fp = fopen("/Users/yourname/readme", "w");
  if (fp)
  {
    fprintf(fp, "hello world!\n");
    fclose(fp);
  }
  else
  {
    printf("Could not open the file '/Users/yourname/readme'\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

[Of course the indentation is all messed up!] If you're trying to find out about the functions for reading from/writing to files in C (fopen, scanf, printf, etc.) then just do a search for "C file I/O" or something like that; I'm sure there are lots of references.
