Class CAutoFile

Non-refcounted RAII wrapper for FILE* * * Will automatically close the file when it goes out of scope if not null. * If you're returning the file pointer, return file.release(). * If you need to close the file early, use file.fclose() instead of fclose(file). */

 * If you need to close the file early, use file.fclose() instead of fclose(file).
