+\section{\class{wxFFile}}\label{wxffile}
+
+wxFFile implements buffered file I/O. This is a very small class designed to
+minimize the overhead of using it - in fact, there is hardly any overhead at
+all, but using it brings you automatic error checking and hides differences
+between platforms and compilers. It wraps inside it a {\tt FILE *} handle used
+by standard C IO library (also known as {\tt stdio}).

+\membersection{wxFFile::wxFFile}\label{wxffileconstr}
+
+\func{}{wxFFile}{\void}
+
+Default constructor.
+
+\func{}{wxFFile}{\param{const char*}{ filename}, \param{const char*}{ mode = "r"}}
+
+Opens a file with the given mode. As there is no way to return whether the
+operation was successful or not from the constructor you should test the
+return value of \helpref{IsOpened}{wxffileisopened} to check that it didn't
+fail.
+
+\func{}{wxFFile}{\param{FILE*}{ fp}}
+
+Opens a file with the given file pointer, which has already been opened.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{filename}{The filename.}
+
+\docparam{mode}{The mode in which to open the file using standard C strings.}
+
+\docparam{fp}{An existing file descriptor, such as stderr.}
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::\destruct{wxFFile}}
+
+\func{}{\destruct{wxFFile}}{\void}
+
+Destructor will close the file.
+
+NB: it is not virtual so you should {\it not} derive from wxFFile!
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Attach}\label{wxffileattach}
+
+\func{void}{Attach}{\param{FILE*}{ fp}}
+
+Attaches an existing file pointer to the wxFFile object.
+
+The descriptor should be already opened and it will be closed by wxFFile
+object.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Close}\label{wxffileclose}
+
+\func{bool}{Close}{\void}
+
+Closes the file and returns TRUE on success.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Detach}\label{wxffiledetach}
+
+\func{void}{Detach}{\void}
+
+Get back a file pointer from wxFFile object - the caller is responsible for closing the file if this
+descriptor is opened. \helpref{IsOpened()}{wxffileisopened} will return FALSE after call to Detach().
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::fp}\label{wxffilefp}
+
+\constfunc{FILE *}{fp}{\void}
+
+Returns the file pointer associated with the file.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Eof}\label{wxffileeof}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{Eof}{\void}
+
+Returns TRUE if the an attempt has been made to read {\it past}
+the end of the file.
+
+Note that the behaviour of the file descriptor based class
+\helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} is different as \helpref{wxFile::Eof}{wxfileeof}
+will return TRUE here as soon as the last byte of the file has been
+read.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Flush}\label{wxffileflush}
+
+\func{bool}{Flush}{\void}
+
+Flushes the file and returns TRUE on success.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::IsOpened}\label{wxffileisopened}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsOpened}{\void}
+
+Returns TRUE if the file has been opened.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Length}\label{wxffilelength}
+
+\constfunc{size\_t}{Length}{\void}
+
+Returns the length of the file.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Open}\label{wxffileopen}
+
+\func{bool}{Open}{\param{const char*}{ filename}, \param{const char*}{ mode = "r"}}
+
+Opens the file, returning TRUE if successful.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{filename}{The filename.}
+
+\docparam{mode}{The mode in which to open the file.}
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Read}\label{wxffileread}
+
+\func{size\_t}{Read}{\param{void*}{ buffer}, \param{off\_t}{ count}}
+
+Reads the specified number of bytes into a buffer, returning the actual number read.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{buffer}{A buffer to receive the data.}
+
+\docparam{count}{The number of bytes to read.}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The number of bytes read.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Seek}\label{wxffileseek}
+
+\func{bool}{Seek}{\param{long }{ofs}, \param{wxSeekMode }{mode = wxFromStart}}
+
+Seeks to the specified position and returs TRUE on success.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{ofs}{Offset to seek to.}
+
+\docparam{mode}{One of {\bf wxFromStart}, {\bf wxFromEnd}, {\bf wxFromCurrent}.}
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::SeekEnd}\label{wxffileseekend}
+
+\func{bool}{SeekEnd}{\param{long }{ofs = 0}}
+
+Moves the file pointer to the specified number of bytes before the end of the file
+and returns TRUE on success.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{ofs}{Number of bytes before the end of the file.}
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Tell}\label{wxffiletell}
+
+\constfunc{size\_t}{Tell}{\void}
+
+Returns the current position.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Write}\label{wxffilewrite}
+
+\func{size\_t}{Write}{\param{const void*}{ buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ count}}
+
+Writes the specified number of bytes from a buffer.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{buffer}{A buffer containing the data.}
+
+\docparam{count}{The number of bytes to write.}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Number of bytes written.
+
+\membersection{wxFFile::Write}\label{wxffilewrites}
+
+\func{bool}{Write}{\param{const wxString\& }{s}}
+
+Writes the contents of the string to the file, returns TRUE on success.
