/**
 * \class KSaveFile ksavefile.h <KSaveFile>
 *
 * @brief Class to allow for atomic file I/O, as well as utility functions.
 *
 * The KSaveFile class has been made to write out changes to an existing
 * file atomically. This means that either <b>ALL</b> changes will be written
 * to the file, or <b>NO</b> changes have been written, and the original file
 * (if any) has been unchanged. This is useful if you have lots of
 * time-consuming processing to perform during which an interruption could
 * occur, or if any error in the file structure will cause the entire file
 * to be corrupt.
 *
 * When you create a KSaveFile for a given file, a temporary file is instead
 * created and all your I/O occurs in the save file. Once you call finalize()
 * the temporary file is renamed to the target file, so that all your changes
 * happen at once. If abort() is called then the temporary file is removed and
 * the target file is untouched. KSaveFile derives from QFile so you can use
 * it just as you would a normal QFile.
 *
 * This class also includes several static utility functions available that
 * can help ensure data integrity. See the individual functions for details.
 *
 * Here is a quick example of how to use KSaveFile:
 *
 * First we create the KSaveFile and open it.
 *
 * @code
 * KSaveFile saveFile;
 * saveFile.setFileName("/lib/foo/bar.dat");
 * if ( !saveFile.open() ) {
 *     //Handle error
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * At this point the file "/lib/foo/bar.dat" has not been altered in any way.
 * Now, let's write out some data to the file.
 *
 * @code
 * QTextStream stream ( &saveFile );
 * stream << "Add some data.";
 * // Perform long processing
 * stream << "Add some more data.";
 * stream.flush();
 * @endcode
 *
 * Even after writing this data, the target file "/lib/foo/bar.dat" still has
 * not been altered in any way. Now that we are done writing our data, we can
 * write out all the changes that we have made by calling finalize().
 *
 * @code
 * if ( !saveFile.finalize() ) {
 *     //Handle error
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * If a user interruption or error occurred while we were writing out our
 * changes, we would instead call abort() to cancel all the I/O without
 * affecting the target file.
 *
 * @see QFile

     * for instance a power failure could lead to a partially-written file on disk.
     * It also means cancelWriting() has no effect, in such a case.
     *
     * Typically, to save documents edited by the user, call setDirectWriteFallback(true),
     * and to save application internal files (configuration files, data files, ...), keep
     * the default setting which ensures atomicity.
