Technically it is correct: you’re dumping data to an output file, and reading the data in from an input file. The documentation also makes reference to what the “outfile” and “infile” represent. That being said, I can see how it can be confusing particularly if you are reading through the documentation quickly. Perhaps a name like “dumpfile” would be more clear? Jonathan
