Visual c++ question?

Can you tell me what foobar.h is used for.

Visual c++ question?
Foobar is an old geek joke. It's a generic name for just about anything. Here:

Also check out the Wikipedia article:

As a Microsoft-hater, I would ordinarily not know what a given Visual C++ function is or does, but I should caution you that while they may well have done something nerdy like create a foobar.h, it is usually used to mean "generic header file". If you see it in documentation it is most likely to mean that.
