No, it's just plain wrong. Where a simple function would have sufficed, 
opening a file, writing a character and closing it, he uses a convoluted 
and hugely inefficient manner. I mean, if even you don't know that a 
system() call does a fork(), how is a beginner supposed to know that 
this is not the way to write a character to a file in an embedded system?
