Don't try.
Allocate a buffer of width * height

by
char *buff = malloc(width * height);

now you can access the pixels like this

buff[y*width+x] = val;

You will need to call a getpixel or similar routine to read the pixel values off the screen, then place them in your buffer. You might need to look up the colour in the palette to convert from rgb values to palette indices.

There is a routine on my website that save .bmp files. Look under the "Basic Algorithms" source code link.
