An ofstream represents a file on the file system:
int main()
{
ofstream file("Plop.txt");
save_data(file);
}

It is very bad form. However, it's the OP's function.

ofstream provides a constructor and open() on top of ostream that initializes the underlying filestreambuf. You can still use ostream::rdbuf() to redirect it elsewhere, not only to a file. So, it does not necessarily represent a file.
