Creating a .red file

The .red file API is exposed through the RED::IREDFile interface. To create an instance of a .red file, you need to use the RED::Factory:

RED::Object* red_file = RED::Factory::CreateInstance( CID_REDFile );

and get back its interface with:

RED::IREDFile* ired_file = red_file->As< RED::IREDFile >();

The last thing to do is to get access to the file content:

case of file on disk

RC_TEST( ired_file->Create( "./my_file.red" ) );

more generic case of a RED::IStream

// stream is a pointer to a RED stream.
RC_TEST( ired_file->Create( stream ) );
