Just a wild guess, but why not try calling it?

Do you not find it the least bit strange to read the content of a file,
replace the content with the content, then write new content, and call that
process "appending" the new content to the file?

You have already discovered the `w' flag for fopen(). Guess what other
flags there might be …

Bottom line: RTFM.
