    \class QFile
    \inmodule QtCore
    \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 \c true.
 
    \section1 Reading Files Directly
 
    The following example reads a text file line by line:
 
    \snippet file/file.cpp 0
 
    The \l{QIODeviceBase::}{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 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 file is encoded in UTF-8. This can be changed using
    \l QTextStream::setEncoding().
 
    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 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.
 
    \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
 
    \l{Input/Output and Networking}{Qt APIs related to I/O} use UTF-16 based
    QStrings to represent file paths. Standard C++ APIs (\c <cstdio> or
    \c <iostream>) or platform-specific APIs however often need a 8-bit encoded
    path. You can use encodeName() and decodeName() to convert between both
    representations.
 
    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 file/file.cpp 3
 
    File permissions are handled differently on Unix-like systems and
    Windows.  In a non \l{QIODevice::isWritable()}{writable}
    directory on Unix-like systems, 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.
 
    Qt's understanding of file permissions is limited, which affects especially
    the \l QFile::setPermissions() function. On Windows, Qt will set only the
    legacy read-only flag, and that only when none of the Write* flags are
    passed. Qt does not manipulate access control lists (ACLs), which makes this
    function mostly useless for NTFS volumes. It may still be of use for USB
    sticks that use VFAT file systems. POSIX ACLs are not manipulated, either.

//! [move-to-trash-common]
    The time for this function to run is independent of the size of the file
    being trashed. If this function is called on a directory, it may be
    proportional to the number of files being trashed. If the current
    fileName() points to a symbolic link, this function will move the link to
    the trash, possibly breaking it, not the target of the link.
 
    This function uses the Windows and \macos APIs to perform the trashing on
    those two operating systems. Elsewhere (Unix systems), this function
    implements the \l{FreeDesktop.org Trash specification version 1.0}.
 
    \note When using the FreeDesktop.org Trash implementation, this function
    will fail if it is unable to move the files to the trash location by way of
    file renames and hardlinks. This condition arises if the file being trashed
    resides on a volume (mount point) on which the current user does not have
    permission to create the \c{.Trash} directory, or with some unusual
    filesystem types or configurations (such as sub-volumes that aren't
    themselves mount points).
//! [move-to-trash-common]

    file in the trash, fileName() will be set to the null string once the file
    has been moved. On systems that don't have a trash can, this function
    always returns \c false (see supportsMoveToTrash()).

    \since 6.6
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QNtfsPermissionCheckGuard class is a RAII class to manage NTFS
    permission checking.
 
    \ingroup io
 
    For performance reasons, QFile, QFileInfo, and related classes do not
    perform full ownership and permission (ACL) checking on NTFS file systems
    by default. During the lifetime of any instance of this class, that
    default is overridden and advanced checking is performed. This provides
    a safe and easy way to manage enabling and disabling this change to the
    default behavior.
 
    Example:
 
    \snippet ntfsp.cpp raii
 
    This class is available only on Windows.
 
    \section1 qt_ntfs_permission_lookup
 
    Prior to Qt 6.6, the user had to directly manipulate the global variable
    \c qt_ntfs_permission_lookup. However, this was a non-atomic global
    variable and as such it was prone to data races.
 
    The variable \c qt_ntfs_permission_lookup is therefore deprecated since Qt
    6.6.
*/

    Creates a guard and calls the function qEnableNtfsPermissionChecks().
