I don't think he was being unfriendly at all. He helped you with the
problem.
You really should read the docs first though.
Typing this would've saved 10k of newsgroups :-) :

info libc a filelength

which says

"This function returns the size, in bytes, of a file whose handle is
specified in the argument FHANDLE.  To get the handle of a file opened
by *Note fopen:: or *Note freopen::, you can use *Note fileno:: macro."
