It's hard to find any examples for general trees in C, just binary trees are
around and that makes me a huge problem. :-\ I would really appreciate any
kind of help. Thanks in advance.

Why does it have to be C?.

trees are classic examples where an OOP style works well. You really
need a language that supports runtime polymorphism in the language,
e.g Java, C++, C#

C is very poor for this use (its possible but ugly) which is I would
guess why there are few examples.
