    \class QFile
    \brief The QFile class provides an interface for reading from and writing to files.

    \ingroup io

    \reentrant

    QFile is an I/O device for reading and writing text and binary
    files and \l{The Qt Resource System}{resources}. A QFile may be
    used by itself or, more conveniently, with a QTextStream or
    QDataStream.

    The file name is usually passed in the constructor, but it can be
    set at any time using setFileName(). QFile expects the file
    separator to be '/' regardless of operating system. The use of
    other separators (e.g., '\\') is not supported.

    You can check for a file's existence using exists(), and remove a
    file using remove(). (More advanced file system related operations
    are provided by QFileInfo and QDir.)

    The file is opened with open(), closed with close(), and flushed
    with flush(). Data is usually read and written using QDataStream
    or QTextStream, but you can also call the QIODevice-inherited
    functions read(), readLine(), readAll(), write(). QFile also
    inherits getChar(), putChar(), and ungetChar(), which work one
    character at a time.

    The size of the file is returned by size(). You can get the
    current file position using pos(), or move to a new file position
    using seek(). If you've reached the end of the file, atEnd()
    returns true.

    \section1 Reading Files Directly

    The following example reads a text file line by line:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/file/file.cpp 0

    The QIODevice::Text flag passed to open() tells Qt to convert
    Windows-style line terminators ("\\r\\n") into C++-style
    terminators ("\\n"). By default, QFile assumes binary, i.e. it
    doesn't perform any conversion on the bytes stored in the file.

    \section1 Using Streams to Read Files

    The next example uses QTextStream to read a text file
    line by line:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/file/file.cpp 1

    QTextStream takes care of converting the 8-bit data stored on
    disk into a 16-bit Unicode QString. By default, it assumes that
    the user system's local 8-bit encoding is used (e.g., ISO 8859-1
    for most of Europe; see QTextCodec::codecForLocale() for
    details). This can be changed using setCodec().

    To write text, we can use operator<<(), which is overloaded to
    take a QTextStream on the left and various data types (including
    QString) on the right:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/file/file.cpp 2

    QDataStream is similar, in that you can use operator<<() to write
    data and operator>>() to read it back. See the class
    documentation for details.

    When you use QFile, QFileInfo, and QDir to access the file system
    with Qt, you can use Unicode file names. On Unix, these file
    names are converted to an 8-bit encoding. If you want to use
    standard C++ APIs (\c <cstdio> or \c <iostream>) or
    platform-specific APIs to access files instead of QFile, you can
    use the encodeName() and decodeName() functions to convert
    between Unicode file names and 8-bit file names.

    On Unix, there are some special system files (e.g. in \c /proc) for which
    size() will always return 0, yet you may still be able to read more data
    from such a file; the data is generated in direct response to you calling
    read(). In this case, however, you cannot use atEnd() to determine if
    there is more data to read (since atEnd() will return true for a file that
    claims to have size 0). Instead, you should either call readAll(), or call
    read() or readLine() repeatedly until no more data can be read. The next
    example uses QTextStream to read \c /proc/modules line by line:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/file/file.cpp 3

    \section1 Signals

    Unlike other QIODevice implementations, such as QTcpSocket, QFile does not
    emit the aboutToClose(), bytesWritten(), or readyRead() signals. This
    implementation detail means that QFile is not suitable for reading and
    writing certain types of files, such as device files on Unix platforms.

    \section1 Platform Specific Issues

    File permissions are handled differently on Linux/Mac OS X and
    Windows.  In a non \l{QIODevice::isWritable()}{writable}
    directory on Linux, files cannot be created. This is not always
    the case on Windows, where, for instance, the 'My Documents'
    directory usually is not writable, but it is still possible to
    create files in it.

    \sa QTextStream, QDataStream, QFileInfo, QDir, {The Qt Resource System}
*/

/*!
    \enum QFile::FileError

    This enum describes the errors that may be returned by the error()
    function.

    \value NoError          No error occurred.
    \value ReadError        An error occurred when reading from the file.
    \value WriteError       An error occurred when writing to the file.
    \value FatalError       A fatal error occurred.
    \value ResourceError
    \value OpenError        The file could not be opened.
    \value AbortError       The operation was aborted.
    \value TimeOutError     A timeout occurred.
    \value UnspecifiedError An unspecified error occurred.
    \value RemoveError      The file could not be removed.
    \value RenameError      The file could not be renamed.
    \value PositionError    The position in the file could not be changed.
    \value ResizeError      The file could not be resized.
    \value PermissionsError The file could not be accessed.
    \value CopyError        The file could not be copied.

    \omitvalue ConnectError
*/

/*!
    \enum QFile::Permission

    This enum is used by the permission() function to report the
    permissions and ownership of a file. The values may be OR-ed
    together to test multiple permissions and ownership values.

    \value ReadOwner The file is readable by the owner of the file.
    \value WriteOwner The file is writable by the owner of the file.
    \value ExeOwner The file is executable by the owner of the file.
    \value ReadUser The file is readable by the user.
    \value WriteUser The file is writable by the user.
    \value ExeUser The file is executable by the user.
    \value ReadGroup The file is readable by the group.
    \value WriteGroup The file is writable by the group.
    \value ExeGroup The file is executable by the group.
    \value ReadOther The file is readable by anyone.
    \value WriteOther The file is writable by anyone.
    \value ExeOther The file is executable by anyone.

    \warning Because of differences in the platforms supported by Qt,
    the semantics of ReadUser, WriteUser and ExeUser are
    platform-dependent: On Unix, the rights of the owner of the file
    are returned and on Windows the rights of the current user are
    returned. This behavior might change in a future Qt version.

    Note that Qt does not by default check for permissions on NTFS
    file systems, as this may decrease the performance of file
    handling considerably. It is possible to force permission checking
    on NTFS by including the following code in your source:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/ntfsp.cpp 0

    Permission checking is then turned on and off by incrementing and
    decrementing \c qt_ntfs_permission_lookup by 1.
