    for (ch = '0'; ch <= '9'; ch++) {
        std::fputc(ch, f);
    }
    std::fclose(f);
 
 
    std::FILE* f2 = std::fopen("file.txt", "r");
    unsigned int size = std::fread(str, 1, 10, f2);
    std::puts(str);
    std::printf("\n%u\n",size);
 
    std::rewind(f2);
    unsigned int size2 = std::fread(str, 1, 10, f2);
