C program to find size of text file

*Program to find size of text file

* argv[0] is executable program name and argv[1] is first
* argument given after executable file

* it means, program is not able to open file or
* file may not existed ? or given file path will be wrong
*/

* read characters from file and check size

while((ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF){

}

* once we done with file we need to close it
