FILE type — File type

Synopsis

typedef  . . .  FILE
               

The FILE type represents the contents of an external file. A C++ program works with FILE pointers, in which the actual FILE objects are managed by functions in the standard library. Thus, you never need to allocate or free FILE objects.
