		// Get all the characters from "file.txt"
		while((g_char = fgetchar(handle, 0, false)) != EOF)
		{
			// Write character in lowercase into the temporary file stream
			fputchar(t_handle, tolower(g_char), false);
		}
 
		// Close "file.txt"
		fclose(handle);
 
		// Set the file pointer of the temporary file stream to the first byte
		fseek(t_handle, _, seek_begin);
