pointer into a file

how to copy/print the linkedlist node data into a file?

// code
#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

struct linkedlist{

int data;

struct linkedlist *next;

};

int main()

{

int i=1;

// form a single linked list having numbers from 1 to 10

struct linkedlist *point=NULL,*head=NULL,*temp;

point=(struct linkedlist*)malloc(sizeof(struct linkedlist));

point->data=i;

head=point; // to store the address of first node

for(i=2;i<=10;i++)

{

point->next=(struct linkedlist*)malloc(sizeof(struct linkedlist));

point->next->data=i;

point=point->next;

point->next=NULL;

}

FILE *fp;   // create a file pointer
fp = fopen("./test.txt", "w");     // open the file in write mode 
temp=head;                    
while(temp!=NULL)                 // traverse along the linked list
{
	fprintf(fp,"%d ",temp->data);       // print the content of linked list in  file test.txt
	temp=temp->next;
}
fclose(fp);            // close the file
return 0;

}
