I am very new to MySQL.

Linux.

I want to create a database in MySql and using a C program I would like to populate the data from a text file into the database.

I couldnt find much information on this :(

Is there any clear material on this? Can somebody please point me to the right direction?

Thanks.

MySQL comes with a client library and an ODBC connector. The client library is documented here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c-api-functions.html, the ODBC library is here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-odbc.html

Probably 99% of questions on SE sites can be answered by sufficient googling. Suggesting that as an answer is not helpful. The idea behind SO is to be better than Google for seeking answers to programming questions.
I disagree with your statement, and, anyway, I also provided a useful link.

There are quite a few good tutorials for this. Here are a couple resources.

The C API library is distributed with MySQL and is the basis for most other language bindings. Everything you need should be in the MySQL manual:
