Yes, a FILE *

Er, well, it does a similar kind of job, sort of.

FILE *fp = fopen(filename, "wb");
if(fp != NULL)
{
  fwrite calls go here
  if(ferror(fp))
  {
    /* something screwy somewhere */
  }
  if(fclose(fp))
  {
    /* something went wrong while
       closing the file! Yes, this can happen...
     */
  }
}
