Need sample C code for encrypting and decrypting files using openssl

Question

Am writing code in Linux C. I need to encrypt and decrypt files using openssl. Currently Am using system command "des3 -e -nosalt -k 0123456789012345 -in inp_file -out out_file" for encrypting and "des3 -d -nosalt -k 0123456789012345 -in inp_file -out out_file" for decrypting. Where shall I get sample code to do the same with C API's.
