If the stream is a pointer to the FILE type, you can do the following:

#include 
#include 

typedef struct
{
    int x;
    int y;
    int z;
}
MYSTRUCT;

int main(void)
{
    MYSTRUCT x;
    FILE *fp;
    
    x.x = (int) 0xAAAA;
    x.y = (int) 0xBBBB;
    x.z = (int) 0xCCCC;

    fp = fopen("myfile.dat", "wb");
    if (fp == NULL)
    {
        perror("Unable to open binary file for writing");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    if (fwrite(&x, sizeof x, 1, fp) != 1)
    {
        perror("Unable to write to binary file");
    }

    if (fclose(fp) == EOF)
    {
        perror("An error was detected while closing the binary file");
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
