+///
+/// CFile is the class used for handling Files in Kodi. This class can be used
+/// for creating, reading, writing and modifying files. It directly provides unbuffered, binary disk input/output services
+///
+/// It has the header @ref Filesystem.h "#include <kodi/Filesystem.h>" be included
+/// to enjoy it.
+///
+///
+/// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+///
+/// **Example:**
+/// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
+/// #include <kodi/Filesystem.h>
+///
+/// ...
+///
+/// /* Create the needed file handle class */
+/// kodi::vfs::CFile myFile();
+///
+/// /* In this example we use the user path for the add-on */
+/// std::string file = kodi::GetUserPath() + "/myFile.txt";
+///
+/// /* Now create and open the file or overwrite if present */
+/// myFile.OpenFileForWrite(file, true);
+///
+/// const char* str = "I love Kodi!";
+///
+/// /* write string */
+/// myFile.Write(str, sizeof(str));
