Questions tagged [qfile]

A QFile is a class from the Qt Toolkit which provides an interface for reading from and writing to files.

QFile is an I/O device for reading and writing text and binary files and resources. A QFile may be used by itself or, more conveniently, with a QTextStream or QDataStream.

The official Qt documentation can be found here for Qt 4.8 and here for Qt 5.
